3. If you are 6 weeks
pregnant, chances are you just
recently found out that you
were welcoming a little one to
your family!
4. And, while I’m sure you are
extremely excited, you may
also be feeling a little afraid.
5. Pregnancy, while one of the
most exciting and happy times
of your life, can also be quite
scary.
6. If you are experiencing your
first pregnancy and are
wondering what to expect,
continue reading this article.
7. Throughout, we will discuss
everything you need to know
about pregnancy week 6, as
well as what you can expect in
the months ahead!
8. Let’s start with your baby.
During week 6 of pregnancy,
your baby is still extremely
tiny.
9. To be exact, they are
approximately 2 to 5
millimetres in length (or half
the size of a pea!).
10. During week 6, your baby is
beginning to form, but still
does not completely resemble
a human.
11. If you were to look into your
uterus, you would see an
oversized head, as well as dark
spots forming where your little
ones eyes and nostrils will
eventually be.
12. You would also see small pits
on the side of the head which
will eventually develop into
ears, and small buds that will
soon be arms and legs.
13. During pregnancy week 6,
your baby’s body will not only
be developing, but their
internal organs will also begin
forming.
14. At week 6, your baby’s heart
will beat approximately 100 to
140 times each minute.
19. If, however, you do experience
spotting, it is still a good idea
to contact your healthcare
professional to ensure that it is
not a sign of some impending
problem.
20. Somewhere between 6 and 8
weeks of pregnancy, you will
probably begin to experience
morning sickness.
21. Morning sickness, a pregnancy
related sickness that involves
nausea and vomiting, is
extremely common and should
subside during the course of
your pregnancy.
22. If, however, vomiting is severe,
it is once again a good idea to
contact your healthcare
professional as it could be a
form of hypermedia
grayidarum which may require
hospitalization.
24. In the next 8 months,
however, you will begin to
experience even more changes
as you and your baby begin to
grow together and your baby
begins to develop rapidly.
25. If this is your first pregnancy,
be sure to keep in touch with
your healthcare professional as
there is bound to be many
questions that come up along
your journey to parenthood.
26. Once again, congratulations!
The next few months are going
to bring you and your family
plenty of joy as you find new
and exciting ways to welcome
your baby to the world!
