Your uterus has grown to the size of a grapefruit, rounding out your belly while your hips widen and breasts enlarge. Steady weight gain continues as your body adapts. Encouragingly, nausea often fades early in the third month, fatigue lifts, and energy rebounds. Prioritize rest when needed, and focus on a varied, balanced diet to ease digestion and fuel your baby's healthy development.
By now, nearly all of your baby's vital organs are well-formed. Fingers and toes are clearly defined, facial features sharpen, and the first hair and nails emerge. Your little one moves fluidly, even sucking a thumb. At the end of month 3, baby weighs about 65 grams.
Schedule your first ultrasound if you haven't—invite your partner for this unforgettable glimpse of your baby, plus vital health checks. Miscarriage risk diminishes now, making it ideal to share the news with family and your employer for maternity planning. Begin researching birth preparation methods to select the best fit for you.
