Week 15

This past week I've been feeling a little nauseous. I'm wondering if it's because my progesterone has increased. It isn't THAT bad but kinda feels like I have the flu or something. I have a very busy week with lia sophia shows so hopefully that will keep my mind off of it. Nothing too exciting this week other than my butt shots on Tues and Fri. My belly is growing and becoming noticeable with certain shirts.

Fetal Development
Rapid growth of your baby continues at this point. The skin is very thin and you can see the blood vessels clearly underneath. The scalp hair pattern is developing while fine hair (called lanugo) covers the baby's body. Your baby is approximately 12-14 cm (3.7 to 4.1 inches) and weighs about 50 grams (1.75 to 2 ounces).

Your baby's taste buds already look like a mature adult's and doctors have learned that the amniotic fluid that surrounds it can smell strongly of curry, cumin, garlic, onion and other essences from a mother's diet. Your baby's bones continue to harden and retain calcium very rapidly. At this point in the pregnancy the placenta will begin to take on the job of hormone production to sustain the pregnancy, which was the job of your ovaries up to this point. Your baby's eyelids are now firmly shut, and will stay closed until the third trimester.

My Symptoms
- Nausea
- Headaches
