especially in the right groin. These pains are caused by the growing uterus
stretching the ligaments that hold the uterus in place, and in particular the
ligamentum rotundum (round ligament, round ligament). These pains arising from
the uterus growing faster than the round ligament do not last very long and
disappear when the ligaments adapt.
- In this period, especially the sexes of male babies can be
determined on ultrasound, but babies are frequently seen at the 16th week and
after.

the abdomen. The liver begins bile production and the insulin production in the
pancreas during this gestational week.

early stages of pregnancy are lost and the body has adapted to pregnancy. If

bothers you very much, you can use various medications according to your

have widened from this gestational week. Your nipples become larger and the

surface. Silky skin hair, called lanugo, also begins to develop from this week.
These hairs exist until the 26th week.
- In an ultrasound performed at this gestational week, sex
can be determined with great accuracy by seeing the testes and penises of male
babies, but of course there may be babies whose gender cannot be determined
until later weeks of pregnancy and even until the baby is born. This concerns
the position of the baby on the one hand and the gender (baby girls are
recognized later) on the other.

given birth can start to feel the movements of their babies.
