fifteenth week

In the 15th week of pregnancy, if you experience severe nasal congestion, you can assume it as one of the complications of pregnancy; Because the increase of estrogen hormone may lead to the swelling of the mucous membrane and as a result the production of more mucus. Your blood volume is also increasing, which causes your veins (including nasal veins) to dilate. As a result, you may sometimes get a nosebleed. Just as your child's heart beats fast, your heart also increases in size, the volume of blood it sends to your body, and the number of beats to meet both your needs and the needs of your beloved child, so try not to tire yourself too much. Do not put pressure on your body.

Your doctor may refer you to HopeGene Medical Institute for second-trimester screening this week.

In the first trimester, the uterus is well positioned inside the pelvis. But it is being stretched for the growth of the fetus and soon it will raise the pelvis and be placed on top of the abdomen. Every mother's body is different and the growth rate can be slightly different. For this reason, it is completely normal for the belly not to show in the 15th week of pregnancy. If you are 15 weeks pregnant with twins, the belly will probably stretch faster. The recommended weight gain in week 15 is about 0.5 to 1 kg per week, so eat about 300 extra calories per day. If you notice sudden weight gain, tell your doctor right away.

The fetus is more active at this time and returns to its previous activities. At this time, you do not understand the movements of the fetus, but in the following weeks, you will understand the blows of the fetus in the abdomen. The main thing this week is the formation of three bones in the inner ear of the fetus. Be careful of your speech because the fetus will hear your voice from the 15th week onwards. You can call him and talk to him. Sing him a lullaby. He can recognize your lullaby after birth.

Your baby is the size of an orange, weighs 70 grams, and is 10.1 cm tall.
