The embryo is now 7-9 millimeters long. His arms, legs, and face have started to develop. You can see dark spots on his face that will become his eye sockets. His ears are also visible. The embryo’s skin is sensitive and can sense touch. In the tiny buds that will become limbs, the bones are starting to grow.
The principal organs like the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and pancreas have also started to develop. Your baby has its first red blood cells now. He still has a so-called tail, but it will fade in the coming weeks.
Although you can’t feel it, your baby is moving actively in your belly already.
If you’ve had acne in the past it may break out again now. You can keep it under control with a mild facial cleanser and by drinking plenty of water. Consult your doctor about medication to treat nausea.
You will still be bothered by tiredness. You may gain or lose weight, depending on whether you are feeling drowsy or suffering from vomiting. From the outside, your pregnancy is still not noticeable. If you haven’t consulted a doctor or midwife yet, do so now.
When you are tired take a short nap whenever you have a chance. You could also take a walk in fresh air to gather positive emotions and energy. It will benefit not only you but also the baby growing inside you.
