7th Week of Pregnancy



What are the changes seen in the baby during pregnancy week by week?

In the seventh week of your pregnancy, your baby is still rapidly developing his/her body. However, at this stage, instead of the development of internal organs, the external morphology of the body is becoming apparent. In other words, your baby's eyes, nose, ears and mouth have begun to appear as outlines. The same clarity applies to the arms and legs. In the past weeks, your baby was still in a C-shaped curved position and had a structure that did not resemble the human body in appearance, but this week, despite being in a curved position again, the morphological structures that have an important place in every sense of his/her life after birth have begun to form.


How big is the baby by week during pregnancy?



This week your baby is approximately 7-8 mm long. It is about the size of an average grain of rice.


What are the changes seen in the expectant mother in the 7th week of pregnancy ?

Nausea and vomiting generally cause fatigue, weakness and weight loss in all people. At this point, considering that you are pregnant and that many hormonal and physiological changes have occurred in your body, you will also be weak. In order for your baby to continue its development in the womb in a healthy way, the mother must first be healthy. Because if the mother's body is unhealthy and exhausted, the body will automatically be more interested in improving the mother's condition. This means that the necessary care for the baby will be incomplete. If your nausea problem is severe, it is possible to minimize nausea by taking a few precautions.


First of all, it would be beneficial to stay away from foods that you do not normally enjoy or that are harmful to your stomach. Apart from this, consuming liquids between meals rather than with meals and having a snack before getting out of bed when you wake up in the morning will significantly reduce your nausea. If your nausea and vomiting are still severe after all the precautions you have taken, this means that you need to see a doctor. It is very important to have a balanced diet during this period of your pregnancy. Consuming as much of every beneficial nutrient as needed will be a good nutrition program for both your baby and you. You need to consume milk for your baby's bone development during pregnancy. However, if you cannot consume milk due to nausea, it will be beneficial to consume dairy products such as yogurt and cheese instead.
