Pollywog Blog: 7 weeks
Feb. 19th, 2007 04:21 pmHurray! This is the second half of the first trimester! I am so excited to get out of this one.
This is going to be a quick update because I have more to do today than I can handle, namely because I didn't do enough over the last week. I'm behind. Perhaps later you will get a nice little rant about baby cuteness and clothes and a bunch of other things that are getting on my nerves.
So, without further ado- the embryonic update.
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. You may also be experiencing other early pregnancy symptoms.*
At this point every essential organ has begun to form in the embryo's tiny body. The hair and nipple follicles are forming, and the eyelids and tongue have begun formation. The elbows and toes are more visible as the trunk begins to straighten out.*
Your baby is approximately ¾ of an inch long by the end of this week and weighs less than an aspirin.*
