Your baby is the size of an apple!
Some organs, like the intestines and ears, are moving to their permanent spots, and your baby’s lungs are starting to grow. Taste buds are beginning to form, too.
Your baby is making more movements, like sucking their thumb or even smiling!
Healthy teeth and gums are important during pregnancy. Gum disease has been linked to early birth and low birth weight. Brush and floss every day, and see a dentist if you haven’t had a check-up recently. Dental care is safe during pregnancy!
