15th Week of Pregnancy




What are the changes in the baby in the 15th week of pregnancy?

During this period, significant changes are observed in the baby's structure. Another name for this period is lanugo. If we briefly talk about lanugo, it is the name of the hairs that form on the human body. The reason why this period is given this name is that these formations on the baby's body begin to be observed. The baby, which has a transparent structure until 15 weeks, begins to take on a real body structure after this period. The baby also finishes the hair growth period during this period.


What is the Baby's Height and Weight in the 15th Week of Pregnancy?

The reason for your belly growing a little more each day is because the little thing inside you is also starting to grow. During this period, the average length of your baby is 12 cm. and its weight is around 75 grams.


What Does Your Baby's Ultrasound Look Like in the 15th Week of Pregnancy?

This period of ultrasound is particularly exciting for parents because during this period, the gender of the baby can be clearly seen and genitals can be determined clearly. However, observing the changes in the ultrasound also depends on the skill of the person performing the ultrasound. Not every doctor's determination or what they see may be 100% accurate. Sometimes not being fully competent in the field plays a role in this, and sometimes the baby's position plays a role.



What are the changes in the expectant mother in the 15th week of pregnancy?

You have now entered a full pregnancy phase. You have entered a period where you cannot fit into your old clothes due to the swelling of your belly. When you put your hand on your belly, you will feel that it has started to have a round appearance. One of the most important symptoms that occurs during this period is that you may also feel a burning sensation in your stomach because your baby's body hair is growing during this period. This period is quite a difficult period for expectant mothers because although they have previously been used to things like stomachaches and headaches, heartburn is not a condition that occurs easily. At this time, all expectant mothers can do is think about how their new state will be in the ultrasound and think that what they encounter after the birth is worth everything.


Advice for Fathers-to-Be in the 15th Week of Pregnancy

In fact, the duties of fathers do not change much from time to time during pregnancy because pregnancy is a period in which two bodies are stored in a person and it is always a period that requires support. Providing this will always be the father's duty throughout the pregnancy.
