What Your Baby is Doing This Week

If you could see your baby right now, you'd see skin that is nearly translucent in appearance. Hair growth continues over your baby's body and the eyebrows and head hair starts making its appearance more prominent. Baby's ears are probably still set a little low but don't worry as your baby matures the ears will move up to their exact rightful place.

The skeletal system of your baby is developing at a rapid rate and muscle development continues this week. Baby is moving a lot and along with kicking and arm waving, head, mouth, fingers and toes are all making a lot of movements during the day and night.

What Your Body is Doing This Week

Do you need maternity clothing yet? Many women say they don't feel pregnant until they shop for that first pair of pants with a stretchy panel sewn i the front. Pregnancy hormones can make you feel over the moon joy and then deepest depression. Another side effect of pregnancy many women report is that they feel clumsy and forgetful during pregnancy. Whether that's caused by hormones or just stress is still out for debate but one thing is for sure, it's temporary. Try to keep your stress factors to a minimum and find things to enjoy about being pregnant.
