You

Does the smell of coffee turn your stomach? When commercials come on the TV, do you want to cover your ears and reach for the volume control? With added hormones in your system, and all the work that your body is doing for your baby, your senses may be in overdrive. Things that don't usually bother you - like sounds, tastes, touches - may drive you crazy right now. Once your baby's growth and development slows, your system will come out of overdrive and your senses will relax and go back to normal.

Your Baby

Baby is 14.2 cm long and 190 grams and her circulatory system has begun to work. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and blood will pump through her veins, arteries, flow through her heart, and all of her other major organs. The heart will pump six litres of blood each day. The blood will carry oxygen and nutrients through her body and filter out through the liver. Her ears are now in position and stand out from her head.

If you're having a girl her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable.
