Looks more like a tadpole than a human-variety baby.
Making developmental leaps and bounds by the hour like a damned GENIUS CHILD.
You are:
Are totally for-real pregnant, with a positive home pregnancy test to prove it and everything.
If you don’t FEEL very pregnant yet, don’t panic. It’s early. Breast tenderness and fatigue may be all you’ve got at this point.
6 WEEK
Your Baby Is:
Has tripled or even quadrupled in size and is now three or four entire millimetres long!
Is working on growing a nose, some ears and a mouth.
Is also growing flappy little leg and arm buds.
Has a heartbeat that can be seen on an ultrasound — 100 to 160 beats per minute.
You are:
Are maybe moody as hell.
Are getting up in the middle of the night to pee.
Food cravings or aversions can be strong at this point.
Depending on the state of your digestive system and appetite, you may have gained a couple pounds already — or you may have lost weight. Don’t stress either way right now. It’ll probably all even out in the end.
7 WEEK
Your Baby Is:
Still with the growing. Always with the growing. Your baby starts off this week at four or five millimeters long, but is a whopping half an inch by the end.
Has a two-chambered heart, air passages in the lungs, and cerebral hemispheres in the brain.
Has an appendix, which is kind of cool until you remember that the appendix is almost completely useless. But it’s there now!.
You are:
Might be feeling a little pukish.
Incredibly sensitive to smells.
8 WEEK
Your Baby Is:
Is about the size of a kidney bean,
Is extremely jointly, with fingers and toes and elbows and knees that s/he can bend and wiggle.
Almost doesn’t have a tail anymore.
You are:
Oho my god I have to pee, I just peed oho my god have to pee again.
May be having trouble sleeping at night, despite being exhausted.
