eighth week

This is your second missed period and your first prenatal visit is coming up. This visit will be the longest as history takes time. Your pregnancy symptoms will continue this week. The first trimester of pregnancy will end in less than a few weeks and you will feel better. To prepare the body for birth, a relaxing hormone is produced that softens the joint ligaments. Only 7% of pregnant women have food cravings. In the eighth week of pregnancy, it is normal for the belly to show, but it is also normal not to show it! Because every mother and fetus is different. In the eighth week of pregnancy, the uterus is getting bigger, but in some cases, its ha nges are not well seen. Starting in the second trimester, the doctor will probably start measuring the belly, but for now, the size of the belly doesn't matter. Weight gain in the first trimester is about 0.5 to two kilos per week, so in the eighth week of pregnancy, you may gain or lose more or less weight. Talk to your doctor about your concerns about weight gain or belly size. Your baby weighs one gram and is about 1.6 cm tall.
