Your body: Studies have shown that 60 percent of expectant fathers show some symptoms of pregnancy. They might experience nausea, mood swings, weight gain, and even odd cravings. You should probably be feeling movement from your baby by now. You may also notice a darkening of your skin in some spots. This is call chloasma and will slowly fade once you deliver. If you happen to develop chlosama, avoid going in the sun or if you do, wear plenty of sunscreen as the sun could intensify the discoloration. Also avoid using skin bleach and if it really bothers you, try using a cover-up base.
Baby: Your little bundle measures about 5 inches this week. The bones in your baby’s body are hardening and the legs are growing longer.
