13 Weeks Pregnant: What to Expect
It has been wisely said, ‘A baby fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.’
Every moment after you conceive the baby is precious. Every week, you discover something new that only intensifies the bonding between you and the baby inside your womb. Week 13 is no different. In fact, the moment you enter week 13 of your pregnancy, you are filled with a sense of jubilation, as you are now about to complete the 1st trimester and are just a week away from entering the 2nd trimester of pregnancy.
No more morning sickness; what a relief that is! Then what’s next, you ask? Here is all you need to know!

Your Baby’s Growth During Pregnancy-Week 13
If you could see your baby in the 13th week, she may look like an alien! But don’t worry; there is no alien growing inside you. It is just that the size of the baby’s head is now half the size of the complete length of the baby’s body, hence, making the little one look rather odd. As the foetus develops, it is the head of the baby that grows first and the body forms later.
Another interesting development that takes place in the baby during the 13th week of pregnancy is the development of the baby’s intestines and the vocal cord. The intestine leaves the umbilical cord in the 13th week and moves to baby’s stomach for good.
At the 13th week of pregnancy, tiny bones start forming in the arms and the legs. The baby now moves in a spasmodic manner, and you may be able to feel subtle butterfly movements soon.
What Is the Baby’s Size?
At 13 weeks pregnant, your baby’s size is three inches from head to toe, and it weighs close to an ounce (28 grams). Your little munchkin is progressing steadily and has grown from the size of a lime to as large as a peach or a pea pod. Now, your little one also learns to turn her head and is capable of swallowing, yawning, and even hiccuping.
Common Bodily Changes
Most women leave the fatigue and nausea from the 1st trimester behind, to enter the smoothest phase of pregnancy.
The 13th week of pregnancy is also the time when you get the radiant glow that comes with pregnancy. One of the most critical bodily changes during pregnancy that you will observe in yourself during the last week of the 1st trimester is that your clothes will start feeling a little uncomfortable since your baby bump might begin to show a bit more, which means you can start shopping for pregnancy wear.
However, in some cases, some of the symptoms from the first trimester like bloating, constipation, headache, and tenderness of breasts can continue throughout the pregnancy, especially if you are carrying twins
Another significant yet not so pleasant change that you may observe during the 13th week is an increase in white vaginal discharge. This thin, milky, mild-smelling discharge is perfectly normal, and increases as the pregnancy progresses. This discharge protects the birth canal from infection and helps maintain a healthy balance of good bacteria in the vagina.
Symptoms of pregnancy during week 13
Some of the common symptoms during the 13th week of pregnancy are:
Decreasing Fatigue: Now that your body has adjusted to the pregnancy, you will start regaining your energy. You can now engage in a mild workout regime.
Food Cravings: Although you may still crave junk food, you may want to start eating healthy consciously. Indulging in small portions of junk food is allowed throughout the pregnancy, so, you don’t have to give up on your indulgences altogether.
A Burning Sensation in the chest: As your pregnancy progresses, the muscle on top of the stomach relaxes and allows digestive acids to rise in the oesophagus. This is the reason for a burning sensation in the chest. However, there is not too much that you can do about it besides staying away from foods that trigger heartburn like chocolates, mints, spicy foods and alcohol.
Changes in Sex Drive: Increased blood flow to the pelvis in this period causes a significant change in your sex drive. You may either want to abstain altogether or feel a higher libido. The rush of blood to the genitals may cause engorgement and more natural lubrication, making sex pleasant.
Some of the other mild symptoms that you can add to the above list are constipation, dizziness, and visible veins due to increased blood flow.
Your Belly at 13 Weeks of Pregnancy
It’s the 13th week, and your uterus has expanded enough to make your belly ‘pop’. People you haven’t shared the good news with will now start guessing that you are pregnant. Your jeans too will start feeling a little tight around the belly, and your body-hugging tops may just about give away your happy secret.
The Ultrasound at 13 Weeks
An ultrasound scan is a sonogram taken to evaluate the growth and development of the foetus. Throughout the last week of the first trimester, a number of developments take place in the foetus, although you may not be able to see or experience all of it during the ultrasound. This is the week when your baby will finally have a functioning kidney and urinary tract. You can see in the sonogram that your baby’s arm and legs look more proportionate to the size of the body. In this week, the body frame starts growing, and the head now looks one-third of the size of the body. You may notice during the ultrasound that the baby’s fingertips and tooth buds too have started to develop.
What to Eat?
Since the baby is growing fast now, you must take care of your food. Maintaining a diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients is essential. Try to include fresh fruits and vegetables and protein-packed food like lean meat, dried beans, and low-fat dairy products in your diet.
Avoid soft cheeses as they can contain listeria – a bacteria that triggers an infection called listeriosis in pregnant women. Make sure you stick to cheese that is made with pasteurised milk only. Also avoid fish like tilefish, king and mackerel as these varieties of fish have a very high level of mercury which should be avoided during pregnancy since Mercury, when ingested, can hurt the developing brain and nervous system of the baby.
Tips
Here is a list of dos and don’ts to keep in mind during the last phase of your first trimester.
Dos
Consume lots of folate, calcium, iron, zinc, and fibre.
Eat healthy and homely food.
Drink 10 to 12 glasses of water and other fluids every day.
Do get your dose of omega 3 fatty acids.
Sleep well.
Exercise moderately.
Don’ts
Don’t start eating for two.
Don’t ignore food safety.
Don’t expose yourself to pesticides.
Avoid junk food.
Avoid heavy exercising.
Avoid sex if you have a history of miscarriage.
What You Need to Shop for
Shopping is always exciting, but this time around you have an adorable reason to shop. The 13th week of pregnancy may be a little too early to indulge in a huge bucket list of shopping as your baby bump has just started showing. So, shop for comfortable and stretchable clothes that you can wear for the next few weeks as you will definitely have to go for another round of shopping soon.
As you step out of the first trimester, the initial discomfort of pregnancy begins to fade. You will soon be entering the most comfortable period of the journey to motherhood. Use the increase in energy to indulge your nesting instincts and prepare for the physically taxing months ahead.

How To Express Breastmilk By Hand
Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for your newborn baby. The first six months post childbirth, breast milk is the exclusively recommended source of nutrition for your baby. Though breastfeeding is advocated, hand expressed milk is fed to the baby in situations where the mother is unable to feed the baby directly from the breast.
What Is Hand Expressing Breast Milk?
When breast milk is expressed from the breast with the usage of hands, it is known as hand expression of breast milk. Milk is expressed by hand to save it for the later feeds, to help relieve any breast engorgement or to prevent mastitis. Many women find hand expression easier and convenient than expressing milk with the help of breast pumps. It does not require any tool or device. Also, more milk can be expressed with the hand as compared to breast pumps.
Advantages Of Expressing Milk By Hand Over Breast Pumps
There are many benefits of hand expressing breast milk, such as:
It is convenient and requires minimal effort.
It is inexpensive as compared to breast pump expression.
It does not require any electricity for expression of milk.
Hand expression of breast milk generates more milk because of skin-to-skin stimulation.
It does not cause any discomfort when compared to electric pumps.
You may express milk anytime and anywhere.
It saves you the effort of sterilizing the breast pump.
When Should You Express Breast Milk By Hand?
You may express breast milk by hand in the following cases:
You find breast pumps difficult or cumbersome to use.
Your breast feels too full, and you could ease out the discomfort by expressing some milk from the breasts.
You may express some milk to lure your baby to latch.
You find breast pumps to be expensive.
To provide relief from engorgement or blocked ducts.
To get rid of sore nipples.
Step-wise Procedure Of Stimulating The Milk Ejection Reflex
Mothers often face challenges with milk expression, but with the right kind of technique and massage, you can achieve best results. The technique of MER or milk ejection reflex can be performed in the following way:
You may begin by massaging the milk-producing cells and ducts at the top of the breast. By pressing firmly against the chest wall, you should move your fingers in circular motion.
Stroke the breast from top to the nipple in a rhythmic manner.
While leaning forward, shake your breast for the milk to flow.
How To Manually Express Breast Milk - The Marmet Technique
The Marmet Technique of breast milk expression is a very famous technique. Clean your hands and procure a clean bowl. Now, you may begin by placing your thumb and the first two fingers around the areola and an inch away from the nipple, in a C position. You should push into your chest wall and then roll the fingers downwards to empty the breast. Refrain from pulling or squeezing your breast hard. You may repeat the procedure for a couple of times and try changing the position of your fingers slightly to express more milk. Repeat the procedure on the other breast as well.
More Tips For Expressing Milk By Hand
It is recommended that before you begin to express milk, you locate the milk ducts and know the correct technique. You may use a warm washcloth to relax your breast. It is also advised to express milk while leaning forward in a sitting down position. You can collect the milk directly in the bottle or a clean container.
What If Hand Expression Will Not Work For You?
Many women find hand expression challenging, but mastering the right technique and a little patience can help you express milk from your breast. It may take you some time to get the hang of the technique, but if you still find hand expression challenging, then you may use manual or an electric breast pumping.
How To Store Hand Expressed Breast Milk?
In hand expression versus breast pump techniques, hand expression yields better results. The self-expressing breast milk technique helps extract more milk from the breast, and it can be stored in the following ways:
At room temperature ( 25 degrees or below) for up to 6 hours
In the refrigerator for up to 5 days
Store in the freezer for up to 14 days
Up to 6 months if storing at minus 18 degrees or lower temperature
Breast milk is ideal for your baby and expressed milk can be given to your baby in your absence or when your baby is unable to feed on the breast (premature baby). Breast milk expression is not only good for the mother (in case of working mothers or mothers having medical problems like mastitis or breast engorgement) but for the baby as well (premature birth or where the mother is unavailable to feed).

Taking Vitamin E during Pregnancy
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, also known as Alpha TE or Alpha Tocopherol. There is a major role of vitamin E in pregnancy. It helps in the protection of cells of the body from harmful radicals (reactive oxygen molecules). Expecting women are advised to take Vitamin E supplements if they have:
High Blood Pressure
Menopausal Syndrome
Premenstrual Syndrome
Complications in late pregnancy
Cystic fibrosis
Hot flashes
Breast cancer symptoms.
Benefits of Taking Vitamin E during Pregnancy
Vitamin E and pregnancy are interlinked to each other. An adequate amount of Vitamin E is beneficial for you and your child.
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and protects the body tissues from free radicals. These free radicals can harm your cells, organs and tissues.
Vitamin E helps in the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals whose role is to reduce the amount of prolactin production. Prolactin is the reason for physical and emotional symptoms of PMT. Prolactin is a hormone that increases at the time you are ovulating. Vitamin E helps your body to balance the level of prolactin which in turn aids the female reproductive system to function well.
Vitamin E maintains the structure of fats (lipids) in your body.
It also helps in protection against viruses and bacteria by strengthening the immune system.
It helps widen your blood vessels preventing clotting of blood inside the vessels.
Vitamin E helps in the formation of RBC (Red Blood Cells)
It is really good to have vitamin E oil for stretch marks during pregnancy.
Vitamin E enables your body so that it can make use of Vitamin K.
Vitamin E is used by the cells in your body to interact with each other and carry out a variety of important functions with coordination.
Vitamin E helps to reduce the chances of a miscarriage if consumed in the early stages of pregnancy.
Role of Vitamin E in Embryo Development
Here are a few ways in which Vitamin E plays a role during pregnancy.
Vitamin E plays a major role in the early development of an embryo’s nervous system.
Vitamin E is very critical for the development of embryo’s eyes and head.
Vitamin E deficiency can result in poor outcomes in pregnancy for the baby and the mother.
Vitamin E deficiency can lead to anaemia.
Deficiency of vitamin E can also result in the risk of increased infections.
Vitamin E deficiency can result in stunted growth of the embryo.
Vitamin E deficiency can cause neurological disorders, muscle deterioration, or cardiomyopathy.
Multiple studies show that children who have a higher concentration of Vitamin E at birth, have a enhanced cognitive abilities at the age of two years.
Vitamin E improves the blood circulation in the mother. When the blood circulation in mother’s body is good, the blood circulation in placenta will also be good- this implies that oxygen reaches the baby and the baby is in a healthy womb environment.
Recommended Dosage of Vitamin E for Pregnant Women
High Dosage of Vitamin E may cause complications in pregnancy. Therefore, you need to be careful regarding the dosage of Vitamin E that you consume. You can always include the Vitamin E rich food in your diet.
A pregnant woman should not take more than 15 mg of Vitamin E per day during pregnancy.
In case you are already consuming multi-vitamin supplements which already contain Vitamin E, you should not take an additional dose of vitamin E unless the doctor prescribes you to do so.
What if you Consume too Much Vitamin E during Pregnancy?
Consuming very high dosage of Vitamin E supplements can increase the probability of birth defects.
It can also increase your chances of bleeding with the risk of severe bleeding in your brain.
Increased consumptions can increase the risk of heart defects in babies.
Vitamin E Rich Foods
Leafy green vegetables like spinach, broccoli, cabbage, etc are a very good source of Vitamin E.
Nuts like peanuts, hazelnuts and almonds are also a good source of vitamin E.
Vegetable oils like sunflower, safflower, wheat germ, corn oil and soya bean are also good sources.
Fortified food like breakfast cereals, bread spreads, margarine and fruit juices also contain a good amount of Vitamin E.
Seeds such as Sunflower seeds also contain vitamin E. You can sprinkle the seed on your salad or you can mix them in your porridge.
Eggs (boiled) are also a rich source of vitamin E.
Can you have Vitamin E Supplements during Pregnancy?
It is recommended not to take Vitamin E supplements during pregnancy. This is because consuming supplements of Vitamin E with other supplements during pregnancy does not aid in preventing the pregnancy-related problems like baby death, childbirth, low birthweight babies, pre-eclampsia or preterm birth. However, it may result in an increase in abdominal pain in women. It might also increase the number of women that have early rupture of membranes at term.
Vitamin E is necessary for your child’s development and your own health as well. The adequate dosage of Vitamin E should be achieved by consuming a well-balanced diet. You should avoid Vitamin E supplements unless recommended by your doctor.

Sweating During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is marked by numerous changes in the body of a woman. On the one hand, many changes that happen within the body may not be felt. On the other hand, there are visible changes which alter a woman’s daily lifestyle during pregnancy. Excessive sweating is one such physical change that a pregnant woman is most likely to experience.
Is Sweating an Early Pregnancy Symptom?
Sweating, just like mood swings, swollen breasts and extreme fatigue is a symptom of pregnancy. To have sweaty hands and feet during pregnancy is common, as frequent changes in hormone levels and the secretion of new hormones can cause hot flashes.
Causes of Sweating When Pregnant
Pregnant women experience excessive sweating during the course of pregnancy. The rate of perspiration is particularly high at night. Here are the causes that lead to excessive sweating among pregnant women.
Changes in Hormones: Hormones cause a lot of fluctuations in the body during pregnancy, and these fluctuations are responsible for excessive sweating as well.
Medications: Taking medication for fever, nausea, and depression can cause variations in body temperature and result in sweating, especially during the night. The release of sweat can also be a side-effect of these medicines.
Increased Blood Flow: During pregnancy, your blood plasma volume increases by a vast amount, increasing the blood level delivered to your skin’s surface. The rise in body temperature could be a reason for excessive sweating.
Performing Activities That Cause Stress: Activities that involve a lot of movement like exercising can result in excessive sweating.
Infection and Illness: Another cause of sweating during pregnancy can be an infection or illness. Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer which develops during pregnancy in the lymphatic system.
Changes in Thyroid Gland: The changing hormones in a pregnant woman's body can increase the thyroid hormone levels. This condition can be a cause of excessive sweating.
Consumption of Spicy Food and Caffeine: Food items that contain spices, caffeine or excess sugar are bound to increase the body temperature by generating more heat. These foods increase the metabolic rate of the body and cause excessive sweating.
What Is Nocturnal Hyperhidrosis or Night Sweats?
The changing hormones during pregnancy can cause excessive sweating during the night while you are sleeping. This condition is known as nocturnal hyperhidrosis and is common during the menopausal transition years of the woman as well. It is vital to determine and distinguish the real reason behind it. Night sweating can be caused due to changes in the hormones as a result of pregnancy or due to warm surroundings, which is normal. However, it can also be caused due to an underlying illness or infection which would need treatment.
How to Get Rid of Excessive Sweating During Pregnancy
While there is no cure for sweating, here are some tips which can help you reduce its impact and make you feel better:
Drink water to stay hydrated and consume food items that will keep you cool and reduce body heat.
Avoid heavy exercise, especially when it is too hot. Give preference to exercising in air-conditioned rooms and go out for walks early in the morning or the evenings.
Avoid putting on too many layers of clothing. Wear light-coloured clothes which are made of soft material. Ensure that the material of your clothing allows breathability and does not trap heat.
Apply talcum powder on your body, especially in areas that are prone to friction. Talcum powder will absorb sweat.
Keep away from direct sunlight during the day, especially during the summer season. Spending time in air-conditioning will keep your body cool and reduce sweating.
Sleep on a bath towel or pile up extra layers of bed-sheets on your bed. This will help absorb extra the sweat and keep you dry.
Avoid eating spicy food and drinking hot beverages as they can trigger your sweat reflex. Consuming alcohol, caffeinated drinks, and eating chocolates or sweets should be avoided.
Do not lock yourself inside. Keep the windows open to allow ventilation and fresh air. Fanning yourself continuously will dry the sweat.
Take frequent baths, especially before going to bed.
Drink natural fresh fruit and vegetable juices. They will provide the necessary nutrition and also keep you cool. Avoid sodas and packed juices as they contain a lot of sugar.
Do not apply too much oil, makeup or body lotion on the skin.
Applying antiperspirant can also help reduce sweating.
Long hair can contribute to sweating. Braid your hair so that they are not all over you.
Keep a spray bottle near you and spritz your face with water when you experience these hot flashes.
When Should You Consult the Doctor?
Consult your doctor if the sweating is accompanied by high fever, palpitation or rapid heartbeat. Sweating can be a sign of severe illness like cancer or leukaemia. Keep your doctor informed about any discomfort that you feel. The doctor will decide if you need any tests or medication to control your sweating.
Sweating during pregnancy is not unusual. It can get uncomfortable at times, but this is something that is out of your control. You can take the necessary precautions to ensure that the sweating is minimised and you are not affected too much by it.

Why Teaching Your Kid to Care for Animals is More Important Than You Think
Almost every story we tell our little ones involves animals. Our children rejoice, eat and go to sleep in the comfort of listening to how all animals are all happy around them. But, how many of us really take it upon ourselves to teach our kids to show compassion for animals in reality?
This World Animals Day on October 4, let us all get teaching children to be kind to animals. Making kids take care of animals is important so our children develop empathy, kindness, gratitude and the importance of co-existing with four legged friends.
1. Science Says
All kids love animals. Almost all kids grow a special fondness for animals. If not a real pet, every kid has toy doggy or bear pet. Studies have proven that kind children grow up to be kind adults. Children learn kindness at home and what better way to teach your tots compassion than making kids take care of animals?
2. Teach Responsibility
Showing kindness to animals can help your child learn responsibility from a very young age. You can ask your little one to give their furry friend food, water or give them a bath. Taking care of animals can also help your kid realise how much time you take to get them ready for school. Your children will begin to appreciate you more!
3. I’m Never Lonely with a Pet Around!
When you go a step further and bring pets home, your child is never going to feel lonely. This is particularly advantageous when you need to help your single child bond and display love and affection. Research has shown that kids with a pet at home have better self-esteem, self-worth, immunity and an over-all better academic performance. Maybe, it is time you thought about gifting your child a pet for his birthday.
4. Learn a Lesson from Animals
Take the time out to show your children how animals also live in families. Show them nests, a cat taking care of her kittens, tell them how mother birds return every night to their young ones in their nests, or how squirrels save for winter. These are important life lessons every child should learn from animals. In this fast paced world we are living in, animals can perhaps teach your kids better values than people!
This World Animal Day 2015, help your little one discover the wonders of the animal kingdom. Showing kindness to animals cannot be hard because our furry friends are just so lovable! Read more

DIY Play-Doh Butterfly
Summer holidays mean plenty of time to get creative with your little one! And the best part, there’s so much you can learn from each other. So here’s an all-time favourite activity involving Play-Doh. Create your own little butterfly, add a touch of your imagination and get ready to have tons of fun together!
Play-Doh Butterfly
Things you need
Blue Play-Doh
Green Play-Doh
Orange Play-Doh
White Play-Doh
Red Play-Doh
Black Play-Doh
Procedure
Cut a small part of orange play-doh and roll it out cylindrically in a sausage shape. Cut 4 equal parts from this and roll them into small equi-sized balls.
2. Now, let’s work on creating the body of the butterfly. For this, grab some green play-doh and roll it out evenly such that the ends are slightly tapering and more narrow than the middle.
3. Take those 4 orange play-doh balls and flatten them- two smaller and two relatively bigger in size.
4. Go back to the green play-doh roll and cut it in two small parts. One will be used to create the head of the butterfly while the other one will make up the body.
5. Roll out the part that makes the body in such a way that the top is slightly thicker than the bottom. Press the roll gently to flatten the surface
6. With the other green part, roll it into a mini-marble sized ball to create the head.
7. Now, it’s time to assemble the pieces together. Take the bigger orange disks and place them next to each other leaving some space in the middle. The smaller orange disks will be placed right below the bigger ones. These will make the wings of the butterfly.
8. Take the green roll and place it between the orange disks and stick the green ball on top of the body to create the head.
9. Time to beautify the wings now. Take a little blue play-doh, roll it out horizontally and cut small parts to roll them into beads. Stick these little beads over the wings (orange disks) to make them look pretty. You can experiment with different patterns for this step.
10. Create the eyes by taking a little white play-doh, rolling and cutting it into two small balls. Ensure both are equal in size. Stick them on the head of the butterfly.
11. Roll out a thin strip of the red play-doh to create the antennas of the butterfly. Bend it is a wide ‘U’ shape and place it over the head of the butterfly.
12. To give the butterfly’s eyes more definition, roll out two tiny black play-doh balls (of the size of a seed) and stick it over the white part.
13. There, your pretty little butterfly is ready!
How is This Activity Beneficial for Your Child?
Apart from being a lot of fun, this activity can help with enhancing your child's fine motor skills as they cut, roll, squish, squash and flatten. It strengthens muscle tone in their little hands. Besides, this also helps in differentiating between colours and builds an inclination towards creative thinking.

Fun tip: To add a little more colour to the butterfly, you can decorate the wings by using 2-3 coloured beads! Read more

Dr Vandan H Kumar

A. yes
whenever you give any new food to the child you have to take care of two things.
you should give in small quantity. if the child doesn't develop any digestion problem in next 24 hours to 48 hours and the child is able to digest that food then that food can be given again.
but if the child is not able to digestc or there is some problem with vomiting or loose motion or colic pain then kindly avoid that food.
we wait for 2 to 3 days to confirm whether the child is having any problem to that particular food or not
