WEEK 7 TO 8 PREGNANCY

HOW YOUR BABY'S GROWING
Your baby is about the length of a kidney bean.
the tiny heart beats and the head is taking shape.
Organs, such as kidneys and liver, are forming.
The neural tube that connects the spine and brain closes.

HOW YOUR BODY'S CHANGING
Your nipples may look darker and may be a bit swollen.
Your pregnancy hormones are working hard to prepare your breasts for breastfeeding.
Your heart rate goes up as the volume of blood that is being pumped through your heart increases.
This will make you feel more tired than usual.
at any time of day–Hormonal changes may make you feel or be sick
your baby's growth is putting pressing down onto your bladder so you may need to wee more often.

HOW YOU MIGHT BE FEELING
Your baby is growing at an incredible rate, so you should rest when you can.
You might feel right now as if you can’t go another seven months feeling so tired. But it will get better!
It can feel like a long wait between telling your doctor and having your first antenatal appointment.
You may feel a bit lonely and unsure about things.

THINGS TO DO
If you’re working and think your job could be a health risk to your pregnancy, tell your employer about your pregnancy.
your employer are legally bound to make any necessary adjustments to protect your, and your baby's, health.
