'#pregnancyweekbyweekintamil#pregnancydevelopmentintamil# Your baby is now as long as a pea pod (matar), about 7.4cm (2.9in) from head to bottom (crown to rump). He weighs nearly 23g. His fingers are getting unique fingerprints. Their final pattern will be set by the time you reach mid pregnancy. Your baby\'s intestines, which have been growing in his umbilical cord (where the cord meets his tummy), have moved into his abdomen. Now that he’s discovered how to suck, he’ll be practising this new skill. You might see him sucking his thumb during your nuchal translucency (NT) scan. Your baby will start swallowing amniotic fluid. The fluid is mostly water, but it also includes protein, carbohydrates, fats, and enzymes. Any fluid his body doesn\'t need is turned into urine by his kidneys, and goes back out into the amniotic fluid. If your baby\'s a boy, his testicles have now formed, and his penis is growing. If you\'re having a girl, her ovaries are developing and already contain about 2 million eggs. Discover how pregnancy can affect your body and your life at 13 weeks pregnant.'
