Baby Growth

• Size of a grain of salt.
• Your baby’s organs begin to develop.
• Your baby is considered an “embryo.”

You & Your Body

• Possible pregnancy symptoms at this time include fatigue, morning sickness, food cravings and aversions, breast tenderness, frequent urination, spotting (from implantation), bloating, and a heightened sensitivity to smell.
• No baby bump yet!

Tips

• Your baby is already exposed to whatever you are taking in. Plan a healthy, well-rounded diet.  But do NOT “eat for two” at this time.  Most doctors don’t recommend a consumption increase until your second trimester. 
• Drink plenty of water.
• Kick those unhealthy habits.
• Keep your body stretched and active to keep your body best prepared for pregnancy and labor.
