Month 3

This is the month where you take charge of your actions

Your child 12 – 16 weeks

YOUR BABY NOW

Your baby is now three to four inches long, crown to rump, and weighs about an ounce(the equivalent of about half of a banana.) Its unique fingerprints are already in place. When you poke your stomach gently, he feels it and will start rooting, acting as if he’s searching for a nipple. He has the ability to swallow, absorb, and discharge fluids. His hands are now complete and growing fingernails. Even tooth buds are emerging. Your baby’s face now has a distinctly human appearance.

The right to act

Here the mother’s self-reliance is celebrated. It is her right to act, not to solely re-act in her decision-making. By decreeing with our actions our confidence in our innate ability to know what is right for our pregnancy and our child, we will inspire our unborn baby to believe that a painless birth is not only a possibility but a reality. Inspiring our baby to trust her own actions.
