During Your Pregnancy, Week 7 Symptoms Will Be Similar to Prior Weeks
In your pregnancy, week 7 symptoms will be somewhat the same as the previous 6 weeks.
These symptoms are very similar during the first 13 weeks of your pregnancy, also known as your first trimester.
You may experience morning sickness if you haven't already.
You will also experience swollen and sore breasts, much like you experience just before your monthly period.
By now, you've probably experienced that unpleasant bloating, the irritating frequent urination, extreme fatigue and you've most likely missed one, if not two periods.
That may sound funny, but my aunt, who was very heavy at the time, never missed a period during her pregnancy and never tested positive, didn't realize she was pregnant until she delivered her firstborn in the toilet!! What a surprise that was! True story! You may feel more connected with your new fetus this week, this is because the umbilical cord is now formed and feeding your new baby with much needed oxygen and nutrients to develop properly.
Remember, if you're still experiencing morning sickness to add at least 300 more calories per day to your diet.
Last week, your baby's brain and nervous system began to grow, this week the two hemispheres of the brain begin to form also.
Now, the digestive tract starts to develop with the introduction of the liver, pancreas and appendix.
The "buds" which are the beginnings of legs and arms are now developing into little paddle like webs.
Next week, the fingers and toes begin to take shape.
Also, the eyelid folds are formed protecting the eyes, and your precious baby has doubled in size from last week.
It's now the whopping size of a blueberry! Keep eating healthy for you and the baby and refrain from junk foods, cigarettes, alcohol and recreational drugs.
You both need to be healthy and strong as the pregnancy week 7 symptoms continue.
