This sweet baby is just 12 weeks old! This video was taken during our Advanced Early Scan (performed from 12-19 weeks).

What You See at 12 Weeks

At 12 weeks, your baby has grown to about 6cm and weighs around 14g. You can see:

  • A fully formed baby - all limbs visible
  • Active movement - jumping, waving, stretching
  • Strong heartbeat - around 150-170 bpm
  • Developing features - face, fingers, toes

The 12-Week Milestone

This is an exciting milestone because:

  • Risk of miscarriage drops significantly
  • Many parents choose to announce their pregnancy
  • Baby's major organs are all in place
  • Screening tests can be performed

The Advanced Early Scan

  • Detailed assessment of baby's development
  • Accurate dating
  • Reassurance about baby's wellbeing
  • Photos and video to take home

Why This Stage is Special

  • Has fingerprints developing
