Your baby is approximately 3⁄4 of an inch long by the end of this week. At this point every essential organ has begun to form in the embryo's tiny body. Tiny arms and legs are growing, and the fingers are starting to separate, but are still webbed. Ears, eyes, nose and internal organs are starting to develop, and the baby is moving around inside the amniotic sac, although you won’t be able to feel it yet. If you haven’t yet told your GP or midwife that you’re pregnant, you should now do so. They need to make sure you’re eating well, and not taking any medicines. They’ll also need to start booking appointments for your antenatal check-ups and scans. If you’re unsure about your due date, you might need an ultrasound scan.

Changes within your body are gradually continuing. It is not likely that the people around you can even tell that you are pregnant. You may have gained a couple of pounds, but you also may have actually lost weight if you are experiencing morning sickness at this point. Losing weight this early is not uncommon, and in a few weeks things will begin to shift in the other direction.

If you’ve got a cat or work with animals, you need to take special care when handling them. They can pass on infections such as toxoplasmosis, which may harm your unborn baby. If possible, pregnant women should avoid jobs like changing cat litter. You should also wear gloves when gardening, and wash hands thoroughly after handling animals.

To help survive morning sickness, Take Vitamin B6 (50mg) daily, Sniff lemons or ginger, to relieve nausea. Get plenty of rest and nap during the day and eat small meals often.
