What changes will happen to pregnant women in 8 weeks of pregnancy

1. Body shape change

In the 8th week of pregnancy, the fetus is growing very rapidly, but is still relatively small. Therefore, the pregnant woman's abdomen has not yet enlarged and she cannot be seen as a pregnant woman. However, some pregnant women who do not have severe morning sickness will continue to eat and their weight will increase slightly.

2. Enlarged uterus

Although there is no change in the appearance of the 8th week of pregnancy, the uterus has undergone earth-shaking changes. It has not only become larger, but also looser. You may also experience abdominal pain, which is caused by the growth of the uterus. In addition, the vaginal walls and cervix become loose due to uterine hematoma and turn blue-purple.

At 8 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus already has some basic characteristics, and each part has already begun to take shape. With the passage of months, the fetus will continue to grow, and at this time, the pregnant woman's body is also constantly changing. Many pregnant women will experience morning sickness and other symptoms, their weight will continue to increase, and their uterus will continue to expand.

1. Fetal size: 8 weeks of pregnancy means that the fetus has entered a stage of comprehensive development, and continues to grow and develop at an instantaneous speed until 20 weeks. Therefore, the fetus is now at the peak of growth and development. Although he is still young, he is growing very actively. At this time, the fetus can grow about 1mm per day. The fetal length is about 1.2cm and the fetal weight is about 6g. At this time, the fetus's body is almost the same as that of a human. The head, body and limbs of the fetus can be seen, but the head of the fetus is larger than the body, and the tail seen last week has also disappeared.

2. Appearance changes Although the fetus is small at this time, the organs in each part of the body are indeed actively growing and developing. The upper eyelids have begun to have wrinkles, the nose has begun to become straight, the ears have gradually taken shape, and the teeth and jaws have begun to grow and develop after the oral contour is formed. The fingers and toes, which extend outward, also have webbed tissue, and the arms begin to bend at the elbows. At this time, expectant mothers must not take medicine casually to prevent abnormalities in the growth and development of the baby's organs.
