Foetal development at week 7 of being pregnant - Your baby will have grown this week and is about the size of a 5p piece.Discuss pregnancy week 7 on our forums, right now! Or, post a comment below.YouYou may feeling quite queasy by now. Try eating something bland or starchy like a plain biscuit or cracker. Ginger may also help, try ginger tea or ginger biscuits. You may also be feeling completely exhausted because of all the hormonal changes in your body. You may also feel faint at times and you may completely go off tea and coffee. As your basal metabolic rate (BMR) increases, you may hunger for more calories and protein. Or you may find nausea is putting you eating off certain foods altogether. You will still not be showing at all yet, your clothes might be a bit tight by the evening, but you'll be back to normal by the morning. Your baby Your baby's body is straightening from it's earlier comma shape, looking rather like a tadpole and is now covered in a thin layer of translucent calls. Tiny beginnings of eyes, kidneys and lungs are forming. The eyelids are beginning to form and the tip of the nose is distinct. Your baby will have grown this week and is about the size of a 5p piece. The first embryonic movements can be detected by ultrasound. |

Roobaby - I can sympathise with the discharge comment! Its making me paranoid to a degree so im in the toilet like 20 times a day. and i feel really out of sync with what's suppose to happen because my first pregnancy seems like forever ago.
finally someone that i can talk to about being pregnant, i'm 7 weeks tomorrow i've got my 1st apointment with the midwife next week can't wait, it's taken me by suprise the pregnancy but i think it's sinkin in know, think thats because i've started to show abit, i've got the chance of twins so fingers crossed !!
I am 24, and around 7 weeks pregnant, i was spotting up to 5 weeks but that has now stopped, i am now feeling sick throughout the day and never know what i fancy to eat, my boobs are also very sore and im getting mild 'period' like pains.
As this will be our first child we are sooooooooooooo excited.
I am 7 weeks pregnant! I found out last monday, i have been trying for this one for 13 months. This is my second pregnancy, i have a daughter aged 6. And i have to say, being pregnant is so much more scary than first time!! I have been getting mild twinges, to which i know is normal, due to my uterus stretching, but it still doesnt stop me from worrying. I aslo have sore breasts and alot of discharge!!
I was at the docs last thursday, and the doc said he thought i might be abit further on than we think, as he said he can feel my uterus well, then he said it could be twins!! WOW, but i wont find out till 5 weeks down the line!! Hope everyone else is getting on well through there pregnancy!!!
Kellybubbles i know what you mean about being sleeping beauty i've not got out of my pyjamas for the past 3 days lol
Hope everyone feels better soon

No sickness as yet....
Good luck to everyone.
I am constantly holding back the tears, and my poor husband doesn't know whether to hug me, or leave me be... he is out at the supermarket right now hunting down the latest food I have read, may alleviate the symptoms.....
I know I should wish this time away, but I really want it to be week 12 already!
I am suffering from hayfever really bad and have been using airwaves chewing gum during day and olbus oil on pillow at night - made a great difference. Also just bought 1 of those Llyods allergy zappers.
I am 7 weeks pregnant, my first pregnancy got a BFP 10 days ago. My only really strong symptom is my breasts being so sore!! I have waves of nausea and mild cramps, and of course the tiredness but its not too bad. I keep thinking my symptoms should be much stronger, but i have heard not everyone gets morning sickness, and some women do have mild symptoms? Anyone else in their 7th week have very mild symptoms?
Its really useful reading people's comments. This is my first and after trying for 15months I am in total disbelief- backed by the fact I seem to have pretty much no symptoms- apart from three positive pregnancy tests and a missed period. I guess not everyone has symptoms? How many weeks should I go to the doctor? I'm also full of hay fever at the mo and don't know if there is anything I can safely take to help........any thoughts?! Thanks. It really is amazing- it is a complete miracle what is taking place inside of us- God is an incredible creator!
Best of Luck ladies!!
By the way, Congratulations to everyone on their pregnancies. Its really nice to be able to read other people's views and feelings, especially as its my first time. Thanks
Im also go pinky discharge which is makin me stress as i m scared of having a m/c. Neways tryin to get through the week, work is so unbearable. Roll on 12weeks when its time for the glowing skin, radiant eyes and bump. All the best everyone xxx
I'm a little worried because my first born was premature and was delivered by emergency cesarian at 27wks.I just really hope this baby is born healthy&comes home rather then baby&i going through another 8months in the neonatal unit befor my child can come home!

I wish you all the best of luck!!!!

Im also worried cause i only started my new job 3weeks ago eek! Im not feeling sick yet, just tired cause cant seem to sleep very well keep getting to hot. Yeh i felt like my period was coming for the past two weeks, but is easing off now, i am getting lower belly aches though, mmm. Hope everyones ok Michelle x
Im now roughly 7-8 weeks and im so nervous and worried all the time. Im experiency some bleeding when i go to the toilet not passing through but when i wipe with tissue ive been to docs and they said i had water infection and gave me anti biotics but for that doesnt stop me from worrying i would love to have people to talk to and help me through this tricky time...
I cant wait for my first visit in two weeks times maybe I will feel more close to reality then :) Also im afraid of having a miscarraige so I didnt tell any one yet not even my parents.
Congratualtions and Good Luck to all xxx
Pleased other people feel like this first bit's dragging. I can't believe it's a whole month till I can start telling people and will start showing etc, it feels like a lifetime away! Am finding it difficult to just carry on as normal, going to work etc when i really want to scream 'I'm pregnant and feel soooo sick, doesn't anyone care?!'.
Can't wait till my 'risk period' is over as can't help worrying.
Everybody copes diferently and noone can make the hardest decisions in life for you I had my first child when i was just 20, her father had no interest and i had prepared myself to have an abortion, until i saw her tiny heartbeat on the u/s at 7weeks. I did it alone for the first three and a half years of her life. It was tough as noone can prepare you for motherhood regardless of endless advice. But having gone to have another child with my current partner its just as tough with someone. At thr end of the day, you will be its mother if that is waht you decide and precious moments you will share will always make up for the difficult times. Your child will undoubtedly ask questions and at times it will be heartbreaking but if you are honest and their for them then you will get through those hard times and they probably wont be as bad. My eldest daughter now sees her father and it has been very hard at times but i am always there for her to answer her questions and we are happy despite all this. Im sorry im gabbling but i dont know how to shortly answer ! I hope it helps x
I have had mild nausea but no actual vomiting, I do find myself waking up really early and normally absolutly boiling through the night. I have had extremely sore breasts, have had to buy a couple of support bras already. I have been very up and down in emotions (mainly moody and snappy). Think im starting to get paranoid too! lol
