If in week 14 we discovered a fetus that continues to grow and with the head increasingly proportionate, with respect to the total size of the body, In this installment we will show you that, despite having been conceived so recently, the features of the face are becoming better and better..
The folds of the ears, the eyes near what will be its final position, the chin that is differentiating ... a few days are enough for it to have reached 10/11 centimeters. Of course, we have been saying that your bone structure is maturing, but it is still mainly made up of cartilage, which facilitates the elasticity of bones and joints, and with the passage of a few months, it will have its advantages during labor.
You still don't know if your baby will be a girl or a boy, although it will probably be indifferent to you (except perhaps when buying clothes), but you do know that it will be precious; And it even seems to you that it will be the most 'moved' because with that size and the amount of amniotic fluid in which it is submerged, does nothing but move from one side to another It also develops the sucking reflex and he will probably suck his thumb.
As for you, the best advice is to continue leading a healthy life with a balanced diet that includes an abundance of fiber (legumes, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc.) and drinking plenty of water. You can also do moderate physical exercise, which does not cost much effort and will be comfortable for you: walking, swimming, stretching ...
Do not forget to seek emotional stability and follow the advice of your midwife and / or gynecologist; rest more if you need and can.
I am going to end with a curiosity of those that you have read or heard at some time: some experts speak of the incipient development of the sense of taste in the fetus, and that is why they remember that healthy infant feeding begins in the womb, because with the passage of time they will become familiar with the taste of those delicious and healthy foods that Mom ate.
