Week 12
About the size ofa peach
Your little one is looking more and more human and will now and then have a good stretch or a yawn. Your baby is now 6.5 cm and 20 grams.
Your baby is becoming more and more of a real mini person. Your baby sucks its thumb, can grab with its hands, hold the umbilical cord, stretch and now and then have a nice yawn. At the moment the heart beats very fast, probably more than 160 beats a minute. Later in the pregnancy the heart rate slows down a little to between about 120 and 160 beats a minute. Another milestone: when you come to us for your second check-up, you may already be able to hear the heartbeat with the Doppler!
