Pregnancy week 7
This week your baby is about the size of a blueberry — around 1.3 cm and 1 g.
Your baby this week
Your baby is now about the size of a blueberry and nearly doubling in size each week. The brain is developing rapidly, and the hands and feet are emerging as tiny paddle-like shapes. Facial features are becoming more defined, with the beginnings of the eyes and nostrils appearing. The kidneys and intestines are also forming in preparation for their future work.
Your body this week
Nausea and fatigue may continue, and you might feel an even greater need for sleep. Some women notice increased vaginal discharge, aversions to certain foods, or new cravings. All of these changes are normal and vary from woman to woman.
Tips for this week
Listen to your body and give it the rest it needs without any guilt. Try to eat nutrient-rich foods even in small amounts and keep drinking water. This is a good time to write down your questions for your first appointment with your doctor or midwife.
