This week on your
pregnancy calendar
marks the 7th week after conception.
Mommy
You are continuing to experience all those lovely
pregnancy symptoms
! These now may include having a stuffy nose. This is normal. Using a humidifier may help.
Just remember that not all over-the-counter medications are safe to take during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking anything.
Heartburn and indigestion may also be added to that pregnancy symptom list!
Your breasts may continue to be swollen and tender. Wearing a supportive sports bra may ease the discomfort.
Baby
Your little bundle is now approximately 13 - 17 mm from crown to rump!
As the eyes continue to develop, the tongue also starts to form.
As the baby's body grows, it makes room for the intestines to move out of the umbilical cord. Although webbed, the fingers and thumbs start to appear!
The cartilage and bones also start to form.
Your baby is well underway!
