Pregnancy

You might be looking at your belly and wondering if it’s the right size for 12 weeks pregnant. Try not to compare your bump to other moms-to-be. Every pregnancy is unique and it will depend on many factors like your build, whether you’re pregnant with twins, your pre-pregnancy weight, and whether this is your first baby.

In other words, at 12 weeks pregnant, you may be starting to see a more prominent belly, but if not, don’t worry, it will appear before you know it.

Are you having unusual food cravings this week? They're quite common — between 50 and 90 percent of women experience these cravings at some point during pregnancy.

No one knows for sure why pregnancy cravings occur; some medical experts believe these cravings are your body’s way of telling you what it needs, while others blame them on changing hormone levels. As long as your food choices are part of a healthy pregnancy diet, go ahead and eat up!
