Doctor's answer:
Lie down and gently press your lower abdomen with your hand, at the position about three fingers below the navel. You should feel a small lump there – that's your baby. However, since the baby is very small and surrounded by amniotic fluid, he or she will float around and change positions frequently.The entire pregnancy process is divided into three periods:
- The period before the 12th week of gestation is called early pregnancy.
- The period from the 13th to the 27th week is called mid-pregnancy.
- The period from the 28th week onward is called late pregnancy.
During the first three months of pregnancy, it is essential for the mother to take good care of herself and the baby. At this stage, the baby is quite fragile. After the first three months, the baby becomes more stable, but caution should still be exercised. If sexual activity is desired, it is generally permissible, but it is important not to exert too much force.
