15 weeks of pregnancy - the growth of the baby (from the crown to the coccyx) - 9,3-10,4 cm. He trains to breathe by drawing into the lungs and pushing the amniotic fluid. To be able to maintain the required amount of nutrients and while the water is sterile, they are updated 8-10 times a day.
Toddler is growing
By the end of 15 weeks of pregnancy from conception, the handles are longer than the legs, so they can be moved with the help of joints. By this time the kid though does not open eyelids, but feels light and if to shine on a stomach a small lantern, the kid will turn away. Also, although you do not need to try food, the taste buds on the tongue are already forming.
The digestive system and the rudiments of the circulatory system are active. Imagine only about 23 liters of blood "pumped" through a tiny heart every day.
Changes in the future mother
By studying yourself, you will notice the changes taking place. So the uterus is now 7-10 cm below the navel.
Some things that occur with the body, you may not be clear, but this should not prevent you from enjoying pregnancy. For example, the constant stuffiness of the nose can be explained by hormonal changes and the fact that the amount of blood in the mucosa increases. This condition is called "rhinitis of pregnant women." The same causes cause bleeding from the nose in some pregnant women. In order to more accurately identify the problem, you can conduct an amniocentesis procedure and identify genetic problems, if any.
Do not be alien to the future mother and father of the experience of the health of the future child, as well as the excitement about the upcoming changes, both psychological and abstract, and completely real.
Movement of the child
Between 16 and 22 weeks of pregnancy, the expectant mother finally gets the opportunity to experience the joy of the first tremors of her baby. These movements are easier to feel a skinny woman than full, and those who are carrying a baby for the first time and without any problems recognize the movements from the first time. Those who wait for the firstborn can first take these shocks for the work of the intestine, for example. And only later, when the movements become clearer, they can be unmistakably determined. However, if the baby is anxious for a long time, it is better to consult a gynecologist.
Probability of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome.
The risk of having a baby with Dain's syndrome increases with age. So, if for women under 30 years - this probability is 1 case by 800, by 40 years - 1 case by 100, then by 45 - by 1 for 32. In many cases, it can be determined that the child will be born with a deviation and have an abortion on early stages. Sometimes a child is born dead.
In case you have any excitement about this, be sure to check with your doctor. With the procedure of amniocentesis (puncture of the bladder), Down's syndrome can be detected, because this is a chromosomal abnormality.
We establish communication with the baby
Talk to your future baby. Do not be embarrassed by what you say to that little man who actually is not. For you it has long been and is almost real. So tell him stories, fictional or real, read, sing, share news and feelings. The main thing is for the baby to feel your emotions, positive of course. Plus, to the emotional intimacy that will begin to develop between you, it develops the child's speech abilities.
15th week of pregnancy from conception: a question to the doctor
Increased urination in pregnancy, is it normal?
If for women of reproductive age who are not pregnant, rapid urination occurs in 8% of cases, for pregnant women it is 30-50%. The thing is in the uterus, which increases and presses on the bladder, as a result of which its capacity decreases. In addition, because of the hormone progesterone, the tone of the sphincter decreases, this leads to the fact that urine can freely leave. Therefore, urination and more frequent.
