Week 15

Ini newsletter dari Pregnancy Weekly utk kehamilanku yang memasuki minggu ke 15 (gak berasa yaaa)

Hi QQ,

With the hormonal changes going on inside, it's sometimes easy to feel less than wonderful about your body while you are pregnant. Keeping a very positive mental picture of how you want to be while pregnant can make a huge difference in your happiness. How do you keep a positive mental image of yourself?

 

This Pregnant Body

QQ, at this point your heart is enlarged and working overtime. Its output has increased 20 percent from normal and, by the time you are ready to deliver, your heart will be working up to 50 percent more than normal to supply you and your baby with the oxygen you need.

Sometime between the 15th and 17th weeks of your pregnancy, a maternal blood test called the Alpha FetoProtein (AFP) test will be offered to you. The AFP test is useful for diagnosing birth defects early in a pregnancy.

Your Baby

Your baby weighs about 1.75 ounces and is about 4 to 4.5 inches in length. His or her heart is growing strong and, even though it is little, it is pumping between 20 and 25 quarts of blood every 24 hours. By the time you are ready to deliver, your baby's heart will be circulating up to 300 quarts of blood every 24 hours. Many fetuses develop their future hairline pattern this week, although it can take quite a bit longer for some babies' hairline or hair to fully develop.
