Pregnancy Month 3
Your baby’s arms, hands, fingers, feet and toes are fully formed. At this stage, your baby is starting to explore a bit by doing things like opening and closing its fists and mouth. Fingernails and toenails are beginning to develop and the external ears are formed. The beginnings of teeth are forming under the gums. Your baby’s reproductive organs also develop, but the baby’s gender is difficult to distinguish on ultrasound.
By the end of the third month, your baby is fully formed. All the organs and limbs (extremities) are present and will continue to develop in order to become functional. The baby’s circulatory and urinary systems are also working and the liver produces bile.
At the end of the third month, your baby is about 10cm long and weighs about 30g.
Since your baby’s most critical development has taken place, your chance of miscarriage drops considerably after three months.
