Pregnancy - Week 8
Your Body at Week 8
Breast tenderness will often continue to be intermittent. Nausea will continue to be present in most women but the intensity will fluctuate day by day. Some women will continue to have few pregnancy symptoms.
Your Baby at Week 8
Your baby is now about 3/4 of an inch (18mm) in size; the size of a macaroni. Your baby is starting to have small movements although you still can_t feel it yet. The nose, mouth, and ears are beginning to take shape. The tongue is starting to form. The tail is now gone. The balancing system in the inner ear is forming. The arm and leg buds are starting to show small webbed fingers and toes. Activity is starting to form in your baby_s brain and nervous system. The intestines and lungs are starting to develop. Even though the lungs are developing, your baby will not breathe air until it is born. It will be getting all the oxygen it needs from your bloodstream via the umbilical cord.
