Tooth buds appear under the gums. Fingers and toes are now fully separated - no more webbing. External genitalia are starting to differentiate, though it is still too early to tell sex on an ultrasound. The baby's head makes up about half of their total length at this stage. The nasal passages are open, and the tongue and palate are forming. Hair follicles are beginning to develop.
Some people start to feel slightly less nauseated this week, though it varies hugely. Your uterus is rising out of the pelvis, which may reduce the constant need to urinate. Energy levels may start to improve slightly. You might notice changes in your hair and nails - many people find their hair becomes thicker during pregnancy due to reduced shedding.
The dating scan confirms your due date by measuring the baby, checks for a heartbeat, identifies whether you are carrying one baby or multiples, and screens for certain conditions (if you opt in). It is also when many parents see their baby for the first time on screen.
You may be asked to drink water before the scan so your bladder is full, which helps create a clearer image. Wear comfortable clothing with easy access to your abdomen. The scan takes about 20-30 minutes and is painless.
