Pregnancy Week 7 ~
Welcome
to the start of week seven! Your baby is now called an embryo,
is at 4 weeks gestation and measures about 1/4 inch. The embryo
continues to develop rapidly -- the rate of growth is phenomenal
really. The embryo resembles a little tadpole now; with a
head, arm and leg 'buds', a trunk and a tail. He is curled
up with his head on his chest.
Advice
for Mom
Wearing out a track to the bathroom? You may find you are
having to urinate a lot more now.
Mild,
infrequent headaches are common throughout pregnancy, but
if a headache persists, or is accompanied by blurred vision,
dizziness, or fainting, please report it to your doctor immediately.
Smoking during pregnancy is known to be detrimental to your
baby's health and is associated with miscarriage, premature
birth, and low birth weight. If you are a smoker and haven't
already quit, there's no better time to stop.
Pamper
yourself a little. relax, put your feet up, and let others
help you around the house.
