Fetal Development - I Am 8 Weeks Pregnant

I am going to bore you now with all my pregnancy stories, diaries, etc... This is what my baby looks like inside my womb, feels good to monitor its growth every now and then!

Apparently, an EMBRYO is now called a FETUS, which means "offspring". Uterus expands to accommodate its new resident, which now measures approximately 0.6 inch / 1.6 centimetres.

Many changes take place this week -- the embryonic tail is gone, and all organs, muscles, and nerves are beginning to function. The hands now bend at the wrist, and the feet begin to lose their webbed appearance. Eyelids are beginning to cover the eyes.

Pregnancy changes our figure as well. Breasts may have grown large enough that need bigger bras with better support than your old ones. May have notice waistline expanding as well, forcing to pack away favourite jeans until next year:). It says that, if you drink plenty of fluoridated water -- eight glasses or more a day -- you should be getting enough fluoride so calcium and phosphorus will bond well in your baby's developing teeth and bones.
