The third month of pregnancy refers to the four weeks starting from the ninth week.

By the tenth week, the embryonic period ends and the fetal period begins. The fingers and toes are now visible, the placenta is beginning to form, and the umbilical cord is gradually growing longer. By the eleventh week, the pregnant woman's uterus is as big as a fist, and if you press around the uterus, you can feel its presence. The fetus's sexual organs are formed at this time.

The fetus' body grows one millimeter every day, and by the end of the third month it will be nine millimeters long.

In the third month, early pregnancy reactions intensify. At the same time, the enlarged uterus presses on the bottom of the bladder, causing frequent urination. Around the twelfth week of pregnancy, the uterus extends beyond the pelvic cavity and enters the abdominal cavity, which reduces the pressure on the bladder and improves the frequent urination phenomenon.
