Pregnancy Calendar: Second Trimester >> Weeks 13 - 16*
"The Blue Lanugo"
Hey Baby! Where U At?
Baby, you're covered in a comfy layer of lanugo which will mostly disappear before you are born. Actually, "lanugo" is Latin for "down" and is very soft, unpigmented (or white) fine small hairs. You have fingerprints, nippels and your back is going to straighten as your bones harden.
Maternal Observations and Unsolicited Advice**
Congratulations! You've made it to second trimester. Time to party (pregnancy party, that is)! Enjoy the lack of nausea, new sense of energy and just loving being pregnant because your grapefuit-sized uterus is going to blossom into a soccer ball in no time!

*Note: This calendar is based on the LMP (Last Menstrual Period) system of measuring the length of pregnancy as 40 weeks (±2 weeks) from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period. Subtract two weeks to get the fetus' approximate age in weeks. **Advice is from a total know-it-all mother of one who has no business giving advice to pregnant women, other than that she was once pregnant too. This calendar is provided for entertainment purposes only and should not even come close to replacing care from your prenatal health professional.
