Baby's Development:

Baby is now able to swallow.  The urinary system functions.  The foetus swallows and urinates the amniotic fluid.

At the end of this week, all of the vital organs are formed and for the most part function normally.  From now on they will grow in size and efficiency.

Her Emotions:

Now that you have passed the scan phase, the baby takes a very real and physical dimension in your life.  If you have previous losses in early pregnancy, things will feel much better at this point.

Suddenly you start to think of which name you should give to your child.  Lots of fun evenings ahead!

His Emotions:

So, like your partner, you have started to think of names.  Don't be surprised if she instantly rejects the names of every important member of your favorite football team.  And also, your grandfather's name may be a little too dated for modern life.

Morning or evening sickness can still be a problem for many, it all depends on the individual but should start to wane soon.  If it continues into the 14th or 15th week, talk about your concerns with both your partner and your doctor.
