Week 12 of Pregnancy 🤰 12 weeks pregnant, 12 week pregnancy, week 12 pregnancy, 12th week of pregnancy
It’s all systems go with baby! (Well, sorta.) But is it time for yoga pants? And is natural childbirth really worth it?

Your little sugar plum is about 2 ½ inches long now. And believe it or not, many of her vital organs and major systems have formed, so the next few months are all about growth.
Some of those organs, however, are on the move. Strange as it sounds, baby’s intestines have spent the last few weeks hanging outside of her body-in the umbilical cord, of all places! Until now, there just wasn’t enough room in her tiny tummy to accommodate all those folds of tissue.
Baby’s central nervous system is maturing, too, so she may react in utero to loud noises or sudden movements. She's also practicing things like opening and closing her mouth, wiggling her toes, as well as her sucking reflex!
You at 12 Weeks Pregnant 🚺
Hopefully your morning sickness is starting to wane, which means your appetite may be kicking back into gear. (YAY!)
And right about now you might be wondering what happened to your waistline. It’s common to start feeling... thicker through the middle at this point, even though you may be weeks away from developing a true baby bump.
If your clothes are getting snug, you might be ready to invest in what I consider a crucial component of any mama’s wardrobe: yoga pants. Or, if you need a more polished look: leggings. If you work outside the home, maternity pants are a great option.
But I do hope you're not too worried about having the perfect pregnancy diet or having the perfect pregnancy weight gain, because there just isn't one "right" way to do either. The most important thing is to listen to your body and trust the process. As long as you aren't craving Ding Dongs, you can generally trust the foods your body is telling you to eat.
You also don't need to fret about the scale. (I remember freaking out about my 10-pound first trimester weight gain, only to have it level out and be just fine.) Our bodies really do know what they're doing, so make good food choices, get some regular exercise, and don't sweat the rest!
Why Natural Childbirth? 💡
13 Benefits of Natural Childbirth
Natural pregnancy isn't for the faint of heart. And neither is natural childbirth.
I was tempted to get the epidural and even a c-section if it meant less pain. Why go through all that needless suffering?
But once I started researching, I was amazed at the incredible benefits of natural birth for both baby and mama. Once I knew this, I couldn't go back to the medicalized model of birth. I had to give natural birth all that I had (while accepting that sometimes interventions are necessary).
It helped me immensely to know that most mamas gave birth “naturally” for thousands and thousands of years. I was not alone.
What is your why? Discovering and focusing on WHY you want a natural birth will keep you going when the going gets tough.
Pregnancy Week 12 To-Dos ✅
Start thinking about baby names!
Make a list of things you want to do before baby arrives.
Start doing some of those things! You’re entering the “magic middle” next week.
Tomorrow will start 12 weeks, first time pregnancy. Still having nausea, morning sickness, vomiting 😞. Feeling weak, always hungry but can't eat properly. May God bless us all
Many women start to feel better around the 12-13 week mark--I hope this is true for you too!
Asalamu alaikum sister im 12 weeks too. Do you want to connect? I want to make some pregnant friends so we could relate, share tips, and motivate eachother.
Hi . How are you doing now ?
@@zeyi8127 Heyyyy if you want I can

38 years old, pregnant with my 2nd. (Had my 1st 18 years ago.) Currently 12 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby GIRL! Loving the channel! They didn’t have social media like this in 2004. So helpful! Thanks for the videos!
You’re so welcome! And thanks for watching ♥️♥️♥️
I gave natural birth to my daughter at age 18. I knew it was the best for us and It gave me so much strength. Yea it hurt but there are moments in labor where you detach from the pain. And when the baby is out it's over! I can't wait to give natural birth again. Gonna be awesome!
Sometimes you can't give natural birth!!!
Hi Genevieve, love your channel. I’m currently 12 weeks and pregnant with my first, which is such a blessing, but am having a really rough first trimester. These videos are so helpful and encouraging. God bless.

I’m 12 weeks pregnant today. Love your channel. I come here every week to check for progress lol.
This is my second pregnancy and I’m planning to have a natural birth. I am doing everything I can to make it happen! I love that you are advocating for natural birth and your website has a lot of useful information!
Having no time for medication 1 1/2 hour labour
2 Caesarian
3 2/12 hour labour
4 5 hour labour
Two natural births were hell and caesarean woke up in the middle of it. Hell
Last one epidural. Fabulous, pushed out naturally. But what an amazing labour I had. No pain till the end. When my husband says you don’t need a top up. Scared the head would look deformed by forceps. And I listened to him. Last bloody time I listened to him. LOL
It sounds like you have quite the variety of birth stories! That's amazing!
12 weeks pregnant in 3 days with baby #3. I gave birth to my 2 kids natural and I can't wait to do it again. It's painful but very rewarding. I'm very excited 😊.
How exciting!! Congratulations!!

I am now 12 weeks pregnant and suffering from covid 19. Worst is my morning sickness won't go away. Last time i suffered with it for all 40weeks and didn't gain a single pound though the baby weighted 8lbs. I feel i am going throuth this once again this time.
That sounds so tough!! Hopefully things will get better SOON!! Hang in there!!
Thank you for being the only one woman I can listen to without a squeeky voice.
I was JUST pregnant last year - gave birth August 2023.
I’m pregnant AGAIN 😂 (11 weeks) with baby number 3.
I watch your videos again because for some reason it is always nerve wrecking when one is pregnant ❤
You got this!
Im 12 weeks today. My morning sickness was the worst this morning. I vomited 4 times with 2hrs. I also i gained 6lbs! I dont have 5he energy to workout. I have a horrible headache and constantly feeling dehydrated.
That first trimester is KILLER! But fortunately you're moving into the second trimester which is generally easier for most women.
Currently 12 weeks pregnant with my third and I look 20 weeks! It’s amazing!
Haha!! SO glad you appreciate it! Every baby you have seems to pop earlier!
Thesame here🥺
Same here, I feel like everyone can see my bump
PRAISE THIS WOMAN FOR NOT BEING VAIN AND TRYING TO TALK FANCY INSTEAD TALKING NORMALLY
I can't help but to smile while watching you explain😘 Thanks for your wonderful video and insights 🥰
You are so welcome! So glad you enjoy the videos--thanks for watching!

You’re so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hi Genevieve hope u well
I have high blood pressure at 12 weeks dr prescribed ecotrin/aspirin to take till 36 weeks to prevent preclampsmia is this safe for the baby?
Thank you
Love your videos
Hi Fathima ,i also have high blood pressure and my doctor also prescribed me asprin till 36 week!!*
It's also prevents blood clots if you have antiphospholipid syndrome.
There is no evidence that low-dose aspirin is inherently unsafe for baby--weighing risks and benefits of medication is always a great way to determine whether or not you should go ahead and take something!! Many doctors and midwives feel that the benefit of aspirin for moms at risk for high blood pressure outweighs any possible risks.
Am 12 weeks and I'm happy for this video
Awesome!! We hope you keep watching and that you have a great rest of your pregnancy!
Thank you for the affirmation ❤
♥️♥️♥️
12 weeks and two days♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥳
Yay for the second trimester!!!
Our bodies are just amazing 🥰💗
They sure are!!
Where I come from, unless there's a medical issue, most mamas have their babies naturally. No pain relief whatsoever ☺️
That’s amazing 😀
My 12 week to day 😘
Congratulations!! Almost to the second trimester!!
11 weeks and 6 days today 💕🙏🏻
Yay!! Congratulations!!
Am 36, 12 weeks pregnant. It has been nightmare with the nausea and acid reflux. I only ate bread almost! No prenatal only folic acid. I feel horrible .. not providing the vitamins. But it has been bad for me.
Girl tell me about it I’m 12 weeks too & I just feel worst but I’m so happy
SO sorry to hear this! Most people who are this sick start to feel better around the start of the second trimester (13 weeks) so hopefully feeling better is right around the bend for you!!
Hi I’m 12 weeks pregnant 🤰 it’s been terrible with my morning sickness have lost weight and excessive saliva can’t weight to feel normal
So, why do they say “normal weight gain in the first trimester is 2-3lbs” I gained 10lbs in the first trimester with my first & now with my second.
Hello .. I am a 12 wk pregnant rn and still having nausea, vomit and stomach and belly pain and I don't feel comforts there too .. nothing ease this feeling and I'm just tired 😫
Hopefully these symptoms will ease up soon! Most women start to find relief around 13-14 weeks ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for these videos 🙂
You’re so welcome!
Please i need help since my 9 weeks of pregnancy i have been unable to drink water once I drink water it feels like I’m going die😭 I’m 12 weeks today🥰 all i have been drinking is milk though the milk little quantity the water I put in it is usually much 😞
I'm 12 weeks Today
12w 2d here!!! 🙌
Congratulations!! Getting close to the 2nd trimester now! 🥰
I'm baffled that anyone (unless underweight) is told they should gain weight in the first trimester. In the UK we are told we only need extra calories in the third trimester.
my morning sickness started at 5 weeks and today has been the worst yet. i can’t keep anything down.
Ugh this is so tough!! Sending you lots of hope for a quick end to this part of the pregnancy!
12 weeks and with covid plus I've had horrible nauseous since I found out 😢.
I hope you feel better soon!
My morning sickness started at week 9ish and got worse week 11. Hoping it goes away soon I’ve lost so much weight
Ugh that’s tough! Many women start feeling way better around week 12 so hang in there!
Mine started at 3 weeks oh still bad at 12 weeks
I’ve been craving pickled herring like crazy. Fantastic way to get some alone time btw, no one wants to be around all that.
Bahahahah!! What an awesome craving 🤣🤣🤣
12 weeks today 🥰
Yay!! Congratulations!!
@@mamanatural
Sadly I had to go through abortion.... Because baby's heartbeat was stopped... Anyways love from India 🇮🇳
I’m 12 weeks and my morning sickness is gone, but I got heartburn even just having a granola bar 😭😂
Oh no!! Trading one thing for another 😭
12 weeks today . 😊 Im so glad and excited. 🤰🤍🍼
I feel like this morning sickness is kicking my butt.. anyone agree??
Ugh!! Some mamas do have really tough morning sickness--I hope you start to feel better SOON!
I had two emergency C-sections and it wasn't a walk i n the park. It was horrible and I wish I could have done it naturally.
So sorry to hear this! But know that Cesarean mamas are SO strong!
I’m scared to have another natural childbirth because I developed a prolapse with the last one. I still want to try again though.
You can absolutely do it again! I strongly recommend seeing a pelvic floor therapist before you have your next one though.
Can I know the gender at 12 weeks?
Using a blood test, yes you can!
I’m 12 weeks and 4 days and oh lord. The nausea is real this week. First time vomiting last night 😢
Hopefully it won't last too much longer at all for you!! Most mamas see it start to resolve around the 14 week mark!
We saw Baby today! 12 weeks BPM OF 170 and we saw Hiccups!
Yay!! SO so fun!!!
I actually have been drinking way too but dr.pepper like every other day almost lol and I just wanted to know if that’s extremely bad and how can increase my water in take?
Dr. Pepper is not the healthiest thing you can be drinking in pregnancy! Maybe try getting a really cute, large, insulated cup with a straw and sipping throughout the day!
Hey, 12weeks pregnant always hungry and morning sickness
Morning sickness is NO fun! Eating small, frequent meals can be helpful. Usually most mamas notice their morning sickness has subsided around 13-14 weeks so hopefully you’re almost through it!
i am in 12 week and worst constipation 😣😣😣😣😣
I'm so sorry! Head to my blog for tips to find relief.
I’m 12 weeks I’m still dealing with acid reflex, my morning sickness is gone thank goodness 😫
Ugh, these darn pregnancy symptoms! So glad your morning sickness has subsided!
The only thing that works for my acid reflex are gaviscon.
12 wk cmpltd
Yay congratulations!!
I’m almost 12 weeks feeling depressed can’t get out of bed 🤢 . Vomiting 6 times a day can’t keep anything in. And diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. Losing faith 😮💨😞😩??? When will it get better ?
Omg mee too cant keep nothing down I cry at times I was prescribed a pill so I can eat
Going into the second trimester (12-13 weeks) many women start to feel better--but women with HG may experience it for longer. If you haven't already tried natural and medical treatments (Diclegis or a Unisom/B complex is helpful for many women) I would suggest trying all the things to try to reduce it! I am sure you already have though! I hope you start to feel better very, very soon!
12 weeks and with covid plus I've had horrible nauseous since I found out 😢.
Feel better soon!
