Your baby continues to grow rapidly and now measures ¾ of an inch in length. Your uterus begins to grow as the baby grows and is now about the size of an orange. If this is not your first child you may begin showing around this time. On the downside, skin changes like acne may also start occurring now, but you may find your skin gets better at the end of the first trimester.

Tips for this week

Getting attached to your baby early on may be hard, but getting educated about pregnancy may help you feel closer to your growing fetus. Try seeking out pictures of the baby in utero at various weeks. There is nothing better than looking at photos of unborn babies that are the same size as yours. Pregnancy is truly a remarkable experience and the more you learn, the more you will be amazed at your body's incredible power.
