Vocal cords are developing. The intestines have already moved into the abdomen (around week 11). Fingerprints are forming - unique patterns that will identify this person for life. The baby can make facial expressions, open and close their mouth, and move their limbs more deliberately. The placenta is now fully functional, providing oxygen and nutrients.
Welcome to the second trimester, often called the golden trimester. Energy levels typically improve, nausea fades, and many people feel their best during the coming weeks. Your bump may start becoming visible. You might notice a dark line forming down the centre of your abdomen (linea nigra), which is completely normal and caused by hormonal changes.
The second trimester covers weeks 13-27. It is often called the golden trimester because many people feel their best - nausea eases, energy returns, and the bump is visible but not yet uncomfortable. This is typically when you feel baby movements for the first time.
First-time parents usually feel movement between weeks 18-22. People who have been pregnant before may notice it earlier, from around week 16. Early movements feel like flutters, bubbles, or gentle tapping. Nuhah's kick counter tool is recommended from week 28 onwards.
