I signed up for a couple of "pregnancy week by week" e-mails which come every Monday. Since I find them interesting and this is my blogg I will be posting bits and pieces from each one.
You are currently in Week 6
(I am 5 weeks 2 days but am considered to be in my 6th week, confused? good)
From WebMD -
Your embryo is starting to look like a tadpole! It's about 0.08 inches to 0.16 inches -- the size of a BB pellet -- from the top of the head to the buttocks. The eyes and limb buds also are forming. A heartbeat can sometimes be detected by an ultrasound around now. This is an extremely important time in the development of your baby, since between 17 and 56 days the embryo is most susceptible to factors that can interfere with its normal growth.(I like how it makes that bold statement but does not give me any advice on what to do)
From APA-
What changes are occurring with your body?
You may notice that you have gained a few pounds, while other pregnant women may have actually lost weight. You may begin noticing changes in your breasts including tenderness, darkening of the areola, and swelling.
You may also begin experiencing heartburn, which is a common complaint during pregnancy.
What is happening with your baby?
The formations of the lungs, jaw, nose, and palate have begun. The hand and feet buds have webbed-like structures that will become the fingers and toes. The brain is continuing to form into its complex parts. A vaginal ultrasound could detect an audible heartbeat at this time.*
