You're 15 Weeks Pregnant!!!

It is now 14 weeks from your last menstrual period. Your baby is now at 12 weeks gestation and is about 8.7 cm from crown to rump (11 cm or 4 1/2 inches head to toe) and weighs 45 gm. Great News! The risk of miscarriage is now reduced substantially. Lanugo, a soft downy hair, is beginning to grow and cover the baby's body

Advice for Mom
Pregnancy requires that you take in about 60-80 grams of protein per day. Make sure you are getting enough. Review your lab work. Tests usually include Type & Rh Factor, Rubella, VDRL (or RPR) for syphilis, cultures for STDs, hepatitis B, urine analysis and a Pap smear. You may want to discuss the 'Triple Screen Test' with your doctor. If you decide to have this test, the best time to do it is between 16 and 18 weeks from your last menstrual period. Sniffles got you down? If you catch a cold, rest is best. Check with your doctor about an over the counter medications you might be able to take.

I am currently 15 weeks pregnant, I was curious as to when you usually find out the sex of the baby? I know the genitals are fully developed but how long before they can spot them in an ultrasound?

I have a friend whose baby was born with the same condition. They operated and he is perfectly healthy!
