Every major organ system is developing. Baby is moving (though you can't feel it yet) and growing steadily.

First prenatal appointment

This week's tip

💡 Write down any questions before your first prenatal appointment — it's easy to forget things in the moment, and your care team genuinely wants to hear from you.

Development

All major organs are now present and beginning to develop.
Tiny fingers and toes are forming, though they are still webbed.
Baby is beginning to move, though these movements aren't felt yet.
The facial features — eyes, nose, and mouth — are becoming more defined.
The tail-like structure at the base of the spine has disappeared.

How you might feel

The uterus is now about the size of a large orange.
You may notice your waistband feels tighter.
Mood swings may be intense — this is hormonal.
Nausea and fatigue typically continue.
Skin may begin to change — some women notice a glow, others notice breakouts.

Things to do this week

Attend your first prenatal appointment if scheduled this week
Discuss any medications you take with your provider
Ask about safe prenatal exercise
Inform your employer if you plan to — though this is entirely your choice

When to contact your care team

This is general guidance, not medical advice.

Contact your care team with any concerns about bleeding, severe cramping, or sudden loss of symptoms.

Partner tip

Come to the first prenatal appointment prepared with questions. Bring a notebook — there is a lot to absorb.
