Start hereSelect the week you are in

6 Weeks

 Your growing baby
Your baby can actually move now because nerve channels and muscles have linked up. But you won't feel any movement until about 16 to 20 weeks. Blocks of tissue are forming that will become the vertebrae. The embryo has gill-like structures that will become the jaw, neck and face. Your baby's bones are starting to develop. Amazingly, the bone is formed out of condensed tissue and is laid down over the cartilage. Your baby is now the size of a pea.
 About your body
Are you still living on cream crackers because you can't face a cottage cheese sandwich or a salad? Nausea is caused by your digestive system reacting to pregnancy hormones. You may be well hungry, but too nauseous to eat. Don't worry if you're not eating much. Your body is incredibly resourceful and will make sure that your baby will gets everything it needs. Just drink plenty of water and take a vitamin and mineral supplement.
 Your to do list
Avoid eating undercooked or raw eggs and be aware that pate and ripe soft cheese can carry the risk of salmonella or listeria infection. Internally there is much upheaval in your body, but externally there is very little to see size-wise. Take a picture of yourself now or at the end of each trimester.
 Tips for dad
Your other babe is probably getting very fussy about what she feels like eating, and the sight and smell of certain foods can elicit a violent reaction. So be kind and postpone braaing for the moment if she can't stand the smell of meat. Show compassion. Nausea doesn't make for a happy woman.
