Here's a nice little picture of this week and some information...
By 12 weeks, my twins will have each grown to 5.4cm (2.1in) long and will be fully formed.
My babies' faces are beginning to look more human, with their eyes, which started out on the sides of their heads, now closer together. Their ears are almost in their final position on the side of their heads.
My babies' livers are making enzymes, and their kidneys are producing wee. Their wee ends up in the amniotic sac after it passes through their bladders. My babies' wee makes up most of the amniotic fluid during the second half of pregnancy. Amniotic fluid is essential for the development of my twins' internal organs, such as their lungs, and their limbs.
My twins will squirm if I prod my tummy, though I can't yet feel movement Their nerve cells have been multiplying rapidly and neurological connections in their brain (synapses) are forming. My twins will gradually develop more reflexes, and are now capable of closing their palms, curling their toes and clenching their eyelids.
Next scan is booked for Sunday afternoon so looking forward to that!
