Symptoms in week 7 of pregnancy
During the seventh week of pregnancy, your uterus begins to increase in size little by little, although it is still too early for these changes to be noticeable to the naked eye. However, you are already at the point where every day it will swell more and more until it gains considerable volume, typical of pregnant women.
This means that in addition to the symptoms of the previous week, uterine discomfort may now be added as a consequence of this increase in the size of the uterus.
Your body also continues to gain weight and by now you may have gained between 0.5 kg and 1 kg.
Medical tests during week 7 of pregnancy
Due to the increased size of your uterus, the doctor is already able to appreciate its transformation by palpating your belly.
It is important that if you have not yet been to the doctor, you go as soon as possible so that they can check your state of health and do the first tests that will serve to verify that everything is going correctly.
Development of the baby during week 7 of pregnancy
The embryo has grown so much that it is now a fetus. This means that its embryonic tail falls off, the heart continues to form and beat rapidly, and the skeleton begins to form.
The umbilical cord, which will serve as a link between mother and child to nourish each other during their growth and formation, also begins to grow.
Neurogenesis, a process that leads to the formation of neurons in the brain, also begins. At this point, the brain will have one billion neurons, but gradually many more will be formed through this process of cell division.
