Your Body
Physically, there won't be too many changes. If it hasn't already begun, you will start to experience morning sickness. The slightest smells could make you queasy.
Your breasts will continue to feel heavy and sore. You are also likely to feel tired.
Your Baby
By the end of this week, your baby will be about 1.5 mm to 2 mm long. Different parts of your baby's body are finally beginning to develop. Her respiratory, digestive, nervous and circulatory systems are forming. Slowly her skeleton is beginning to take shape. Her skin and hair have begun to grow. Her heart will start to beat this week. She is no bigger than the size of a marble.
Common Complications
Contact your doctor the morning sickness is very severe, i.e. if you are constantly vomiting and are unable to keep any food down.
It is okay if…
