Today I am 12 weeks along and officially in the second trimester! While I am still feeling tired, most of my other early pregnancy symptoms are subsiding. I'm not as nauseous and my appetite is slowly increasing which is great, because its time for me to start putting on some weight! I don't feel as bloated so I feel like the little belly that's developing is more baby than bloat!
This week you will grow to about the size of a peach; around 7cm long, and 14-20g. Your arms are now long enough that you can reach your thumb to your mouth, although the sucking reflex hasn't developed yet. You are getting all your nutritional and oxygen needs from the placenta now. All the major components of your body are now in place, its just a matter of maturation and growth.
Below is a current belly pic. I'm definitely starting to see the difference from two weeks prior.
