Pregnancy - 13
Your baby
Your growing baby now measures around 8cm. He’s now very active, and is stretching, kicking and turning, although he’s still far too small for you to feel it. The kidneys are starting to work and are now starting to send urine to the bladder.
Each week, your baby’s proportions become much more like that of a newborn baby, and his head is now only about a third the size of his body.
You
If you like a drink now and again, it’s time to consider how it might affect your growing baby. Although one glass of wine isn’t likely to harm your baby, no level of alcohol has been proved entirely safe during pregnancy.
So the safest bet is to avoid alcohol altogether. Excessive alcohol intake has been associated with many foetal problems, and even moderate alcohol consumption can impact on the development of your baby’s brain.
