Week seven pregnancy symptoms

7 Weeks Pregnant: Symptoms, Tips, and More

Week 7 of your pregnancy is a period of important changes for both you and your baby. While not much is obvious from the outside, on the inside your body is preparing to nurture your child for the next several months.

Each new development or symptom brings you one step closer to meeting your baby. Here’s what you need to know about week 7.

7 weeks pregnant: What to expect

You may start to feel bloated and your breasts may start getting bigger.
Your baby is growing, too. Baby’s head and face are developing and tiny hands and feet are sprouting.
Your fatigue may be intense right now. Rest as much as you can.
You’ll want to schedule a prenatal doctor’s appointment if you haven’t yet and start focusing on good nutrition and safe activity.

By now, you probably know you’re pregnant, but some pregnant people don’t find out for sure until this week.

You don’t look pregnant yet, but you’re noticing the signs. You probably haven’t gained weight, and you may have even lost a few pounds due to morning sickness.

Your bra may feel a little tight as your breasts grow, and your pants may feel a bit uncomfortable due to bloating.

Your baby is about a 1/4-inch long this week and is still considered to be an embryo. Their little spinal tail is getting smaller and will soon disappear.

During this week, your baby’s head and face are developing. Nostrils appear and eye lenses begin forming. Hands and feet are also sprouting, though at this stage they look more like little paddles than the cute hands and feet you’ll love photographing in 7 months.

Though multiples are often smaller than singletons at birth, their development each week isn’t that different until the third trimester. If you’re having multiples, your babies are each a little bigger than the top of a pencil eraser this week.

Many women have their first ultrasound between weeks 6 and 8. This is the appointment that will give you a view into your uterus to see your babies. You can also detect their heartbeats through ultrasound as early as week 6.

As your baby continues to grow, you’re likely to start experiencing early pregnancy symptoms, if you haven’t already, as well as some new symptoms.

These include:

nausea
vomiting
frequent urination
darkening of the areolas
fatigue
tender and swollen breasts
food aversions and cravings
mild pelvic cramping
occasional spotting

Food aversions and nausea

If your favorite foods seem repulsive, and you’re craving pickles and tuna fish, don’t despair. You’re experiencing food cravings and aversions related to your pregnancy. Odors that never bothered you before may suddenly make you nauseated.

Nausea, food aversions, and cravings may last throughout your pregnancy, but most women start feeling better after the first trimester.

Try to avoid any foods and odors that trigger symptoms. Give into cravings (ice cream! chocolate!) every now and then, but try to keep your diet as nutritious as possible. If you’re having trouble maintaining a balanced diet while nauseated, that’s okay.

Prenatal vitamins can help bridge the gap between your limited diet and healthy eating habits once your morning sickness goes away.

If your symptoms are extreme and you cannot keep down any food or liquids for more than 24 hours, call your doctor as this may be a sign of hyperemesis gravidarum. This is an extreme form of morning sickness.

Excess saliva

Excessive salivation and the need to spit is an annoying symptom you may experience this week. No one knows exactly what causes this, though hormones or heartburn are likely suspects.

Avoid irritants, like smoke, that may make the problem worse. Try chewing sugarless gum or sucking on hard candies. This may make it easier to swallow the excess saliva.

It’s also important to drink plenty of water. While you may feel that your mouth is extra hydrated from all the saliva, water may actually help to reduce the saliva production.

Fatigue

You may find yourself hitting the snooze button more often this week. Fatigue is common in the first and third trimesters. Try to go to bed earlier to gain some extra winks.

If your work schedule is flexible, see if you can get to work a little later. Your body is working hard, and keeping yourself refreshed is important.

Another way to boost your energy is to exercise. If you were exercising before getting pregnant, you can usually continue exercising throughout your first trimester with little change.

Check with your doctor before starting any new fitness routines, or if you have any questions or concerns about safely exercising during pregnancy.

Your pregnancy is still pretty new, but it’s not too early to start planning and practicing healthy habits. Here are a few things you can get started on during week 7.

Schedule your prenatal visit

You should schedule your first prenatal care appointment if you haven’t already. Many women have their first prenatal visit this week or at week 8. Your first visit will be the longest and most extensive checkup.

During the visit, your doctor or midwife will review your health history, determine your approximate due date, identify pregnancy risks, and give you a physical exam, including a pelvic exam with Pap smear.

You’ll have your weight and blood pressure checked, and urine and blood tests will likely be ordered.

Start prenatal exercise

If you’re feeling up to it, start a prenatal exercise program. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggests exercising 30 minutes a day to support a healthy pregnancy. Yoga, walking, and swimming are great options.

Get your doctor’s approval before running, lifting heavy weights, or doing intense cardio exercise programs.

Quit smoking

If you’re a smoker, it’s critically important to quit. Smoking increases the risk of complications during pregnancy, such as low birth weight and premature labor. It may also cause problems with the baby after birth.

It can be difficult to quit cold turkey, and smoking cessation products may be unhealthy for your developing baby. Ask your doctor for help.

Miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy are complications that may occur in the first trimester. It’s important to recognize the symptoms.

Ectopic pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that forms outside of the uterus, often in one of the fallopian tubes. It’s a life threatening emergency for the pregnant person. You may have normal early pregnancy symptoms without being aware that the embryo is developing outside your womb.

An ectopic pregnancy cannot survive. If left untreated, the area surrounding the embryo eventually ruptures. Consult a doctor immediately if you’re pregnant and experience any of the following symptoms:

abnormal vaginal bleeding
fainting or feeling faint or suddenly dizzy
low blood pressure
rectal pressure
shoulder pain
severe, sharp, sudden pelvic pain

Miscarriage

Miscarriage results in the loss of a baby during pregnancy. Most miscarriages occur in the first 12 weeks, or the first trimester, of pregnancy.

While you can still have one up to week 20, after you have passed your 12th week of pregnancy your odds of miscarriage are much lower.

Miscarriages are caused by a problem with the baby’s genes, cervix or uterine issues, hormone problems, or infection. In many cases, there’s no obvious reason for a miscarriage. Call your doctor if any of these warning signs occur:

bleeding or spotting
passage of tissue through the vagina
gush of pink vaginal fluid
abdominal or pelvic pain or cramping
dizziness, lightheadedness, or faintness

If you experience a miscarriage, take time to grieve your loss and reach out to your doctor if you need support. Most people who have miscarriages go on to have successful, full-term pregnancies.

Weight gain at week 7

It’s unlikely that the scale has shifted at this point in your pregnancy. If you’re having morning sickness, you may be finding it more difficult to eat. If you notice that you’re losing weight, speak with your doctor.

Week 7 is an exciting and important time during your pregnancy. As your body continues to prepare for nourishing a growing baby, there are some symptoms you may start to notice, like nausea and feeling extra tired.

It’s also a good time to take some healthy steps to get ready for the coming months, including scheduling doctor appointments, starting a prenatal exercise routine, and quitting smoking.

Have you started to share the news yet? When you start telling friends and family is entirely up to you. Legally you do not have to tell your employer until the 15th week before the baby is due, which is about 4 months away. Maternity Action explains more about your maternity rights.

What's happening in my body?

There's more blood pumping around your body than there was 7 weeks ago. As you go through your pregnancy, the volume will increase by up to 50%. The extra blood will feed your uterus (womb) with all the oxygen and nutrients that your baby needs. This can make you feel thirstier than usual. Try to drink 8 medium glasses of fluid a day (such as water, fruit tea, fruit juice, skimmed or semi skimmed milk).

Meanwhile, your womb is now about the size of a lemon, while your baby is the size of a grape and growing very quickly.

If it's your first pregnancy, you may not start looking pregnant until around week 12. If you have had a baby before, you may look pregnant earlier than you did last time, as your womb and stomach muscles will be more stretched.

Early pregnancy symptoms (at 7 weeks)

Being 7 weeks' pregnant can feel quite challenging if you are feeling sick, tired and experiencing mood swings. Your symptoms could also include:

a metallic taste in your mouth
sore breasts
headaches
new food and drink likes and dislikes
a heightened sense of smell
a white milky pregnancy discharge from your vagina
light spotting (see your doctor if you get bleeding in pregnancy)
cramping, a bit like period pains
darkened skin on your face or brown patches - this is known as chloasma or the "mask of pregnancy"
thicker and shinier hair
bloating (read about bloating on week 16's page)

See week 6 for morning sickness remedies.

Read Tommy's guide to common pregnancy symptoms.

Don't ignore any strange symptoms, like feeling itchy all over. The chances are that those aches or pains are just signs of a normal pregnancy, but talk to your midwife or doctor, just in case.

What does my baby look like?

Your baby, or embryo, is around 10mm long from head to bottom, which is about the size of a grape. The brain is growing faster than the rest of the body, so they have a large forehead. There are small dimples where the nose and ears will be. The eyelids are beginning to grow and cover the eyes.

The little limb buds are starting to form cartilage which will make the bones for the arms and legs. The arm buds are getting longer, and the flattened ends will soon become tiny hands.

The baby's brain and spinal cord are taking shape at a fast pace. Your embryo is generating around 100 new brain cells every minute. Remember to take your folic acid as it can help prevent defects in your baby's development.

Action stations

Share the news with your GP or ask for an appointment with a midwife at your doctors' surgery. Alternatively you can refer yourself to your local hospital – look for contact details on their website.

You'll need to arrange a booking appointment. This usually takes place between weeks 8 and 12 and takes around an hour. You can talk about the options for your pregnancy and the birth. You will also be offered screening tests for infectious diseases, and conditions such as Down's syndrome. You could ask about the Maternity Transformation Programme and how it could benefit you.

You will be offered your first dating scan at 8 to 14 weeks.

If it's your first pregnancy you will probably have around 10 appointments and 2 scans in total.

Ask your midwife or doctor about online antenatal classes – they may be able to recommend one. The charity Tommy's has lots of useful information on antenatal classes and preparing you for birth.

Antenatal classes will give you the chance to meet other people and prepare you for parenthood. The NCT offers online antenatal classes with small groups of people that live locally to you.

Take prenatal vitamins. You're advised to take 400 micrograms of folic acid, every day, until at least week 12. This helps your baby's nervous system to form and offers some protection from conditions such as spina bifida.

To keep bones and muscles healthy, we need vitamin D. From late March/early April to the end of September, most people make enough vitamin D from sunlight on their skin. However, between October and early March, consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement because we cannot make enough from sunlight.

Some people should take a vitamin D supplement all year round, find out if this applies to you on the NHS website. You just need 10 micrograms (it's the same for grown-ups and kids). Check if you're entitled to free vitamins.

Do you think you or your partner could have a sexually transmitted infection (STI)? If so, get checked out, as this could affect your baby's development. Talk to your midwife or GP, or visit a sexual health clinic.

It's recommended that you do 150 minutes of exercise a week while pregnant. You could start off with just 10 minutes of daily exercise - perhaps take a brisk walk outside. Check out Sport England's #StayInWorkOut online exercises (scroll to the pregnancy section). Listen to your body and do what feels right for you.

There's no need to eat for 2. If you pile on the pounds, you could put you and your baby at risk of health problems such as high blood pressure. Eat healthily, with plenty of fresh fruit and veg, and avoid processed, fatty and salty foods. You may be able to get free milk, fruit and veg through the Healthy Start scheme.

If you have a long-term health condition, then let your specialist or GP know that you're pregnant as soon as possible. Do not stop taking any regular medication without discussing it first with your doctor.

How are you today? If you're feeling anxious or low, then talk to your midwife or doctor who can point you in the right direction to get all the support that you need. You could also discuss your worries with your partner, friends and family.

You may be worried about your relationship, or money, or having somewhere permanent to live. Don't keep it to yourself. It's important that you ask for help if you need it.

Learn all about the seventh week of pregnancy on the Nutricia club website

It's been almost two months since you became a future mother. We are sure that you have many questions about the course and features of the 7th week of pregnancy. We have collected the most common questions and prepared answers to them. Let's take a closer look at what changes the seventh week of pregnancy has prepared for us and what will change in the near future.

Article structure

Feelings characteristic of the 7th week of pregnancy

Absence of menstruation

The pituitary gland, which controls various substances in your body, has reduced the production of hormones that regulate menstrual function. And due to pregnancy, new eggs are not prepared for fertilization. But the mere absence of menstruation will not be enough to make sure that you are pregnant. This is just one of the manifestations, which can be caused by various reasons.

Morning sickness

Quite a typical manifestation of the first trimester of pregnancy is a feeling of nausea, which occurs most often in the morning. It is important that this does not cause a violation of a balanced diet and does not spoil your mood! Fresh air and switching attention to something pleasant will help overcome episodes of morning sickness. As soon as it passes - go with the baby for breakfast.

Weakness and dizziness

At this stage, your body spends a lot of energy on ensuring the growth and development of the baby. Episodes of mild dizziness and a desire to sleep are quite normal. Rest more and gain strength - things can wait. If you feel dizzy all the time, be sure to consult a gynecologist. nine0003

Mood swings and emotionality

Hormonal changes occur during the 7th week of pregnancy. These changes affect almost every organ system, as well as your mood. It's okay if you feel like crying or, conversely, laughing, or both at the same time. Don't be afraid of your emotions and give them freedom.

Weight gain

Perhaps this is what almost all women are afraid of. Sometimes it happens that the forms increase and stretch marks may appear. But if you follow all the recommendations (which will be given in the article), this can be avoided. And after giving birth, the weight will return to your usual limits. nine0003

Endocrine system

At the seventh week of pregnancy, the metabolic processes are restructured, as well as the endocrine system. During this period, the thyroid gland may slightly increase, which is a normal physiological process. But regularly undergo examination by a gynecologist and an endocrinologist, your safety is now the main thing in the family.

Arms and legs

Cartilage gave rise to the musculoskeletal system. The legs now look like short fins, and the arms have already divided into the shoulder and forearm. Carpal membranes appeared at the ends of the arms and legs, it is from them that the baby's fingers will soon form. He will be able to squeeze his fist and lightly knock on you - say hello to mom! nine0003

This is an organ that develops throughout life, from the embryonic period until after birth. During this period, its basic structures were formed. Brain development continues over time, even after birth. But its basic structures have already been formed. During the 7th week of pregnancy, it will separate into an anterior, middle, and posterior sections. The front will be responsible for the thinking of your future genius and the performance of logical tasks, form and store memories. Medium - for the transmission of nerve signals in the body. And the back will control breathing and pulse. nine0003

Respiratory system

During this period, the lungs actively develop. The rudiments of the bronchi appear in them and the trachea continues to form.

Reproductive system

Precisely at the stage of pregnancy, 7 weeks, ovaries in girls or testicles in boys begin to form and develop. A little more, and you can arrange a Gender Reveal Party - a party about determining the sex of the unborn child!

Characteristic signs for 7 weeks:

The condition of the skin and hair may worsen

The appearance of pigmentation or enlarged pores indicates a lack of nutrients, vitamins and minerals for the mother.

Enlargement of the uterus

This process takes place in order to make the growing baby feel comfortable. At the seventh week of pregnancy, the uterus is comparable in size to an orange. Due to the increase, it can put pressure on surrounding organs. This is why you feel the urge to urinate frequently. nine0003

The breasts increase in size and the areolas darken

Venous mesh may appear on the mammary glands. This period is characterized by soreness and unpleasant tingling in the breasts. Tell your husband about it - he will understand.

Hormonal changes

Most of the changes in your body are caused by estrogen and progesterone. They affect the uterus, promote its growth and improve blood circulation. It is progesterone that prevents the uterus from contracting excessively, because the fetus is inside it. nine0003

General weakness and constant desire to sleep

These are typical manifestations of pregnancy, between which there are often mood and emotional swings.

Nausea and indigestion

Nausea, which occurs more often in the morning or under the influence of strong odors. Also, some women experience digestive disorders and can pull the lower abdomen. If these symptoms are pronounced, you should definitely contact your gynecologist. nine0003

Timely and regular examinations, in turn, contribute to the timely detection and treatment of complications that can occur at the 7th week of pregnancy.

It is strictly necessary to stop drinking alcohol and smoking, as this can lead to the development of intrauterine pathologies and abortion.

7th week of pregnancy: what happens, sensations in the abdomen, symptoms, size and development of the fetus, ultrasound

7th week of pregnancy: first changes

Time is running out. The second month has already arrived, and now you have reached the 7th obstetric week of pregnancy. At this time, many women begin to feel the first noticeable signs of pregnancy, the body is gradually changing, the increase in the level of female hormones necessary for the prolongation of pregnancy affects organs and tissues. This leads to changes in weight, mood, appetite and sensations in the abdomen.

7 obstetric week of pregnancy: fetal development

Your friends and relatives may not know that you are expecting a baby (and perhaps even the future father does not yet know about the good news). But a new life is actively developing inside your body, your baby. Although at 7-8 weeks of pregnancy there is still no growth of the abdomen, in the first weeks the fetus develops rapidly, it quickly increases in size. Let's talk about what's going on with your baby.

Baby size at 7 weeks pregnant

By now, your little fetus has grown to about 1 cm in length. Doctors measure the so-called coccyx-parietal size in a child, since it is not yet possible to measure the length to the edge of the heels. Although the growth of the crumbs may not seem so big, but remember that not so long ago it was the size of a poppy seed. It has more than doubled in just a week. nine0003

What happens to the fetus

So we know how big the fetus is at this stage, but what happens to its development?

At this point, the brain is going through a phase of very significant growth and differentiation - so important that its head grows faster than the rest of the body. The embryo now has a large forehead.

At the same time, the eyes and ears of the fetus are also undergoing a period of accelerated development. Although the inner ear (the part responsible for hearing and balance) is on its way to completion, the outer ear, visible from the side of the head, will take several weeks to develop. nine0003

What else happens to the fetus externally?

The fetus has no arms or legs yet, but the rudiments of the limbs have already begun to form - cartilage is formed in them. The bones of the arms and legs will eventually form. At the same time, the rudiments of the upper limbs lengthen and flatten at the end - these fine structures eventually form handles. Meanwhile, a similar process takes place in the lower limbs as the leg buds develop into what will soon become the thighs, lower legs and feet. But in the photo of the fetus and video at 7-8 weeks of pregnancy, the baby still looks very unusual, it has a huge head and a very small body. nine0003

In addition to what we have mentioned, the heart, lungs, digestive system and other tissues of the fetus are also rapidly developing.

What happens to your body at 7 weeks pregnant

At this stage, the waist has not changed, but it would be nice to mentally prepare yourself for some of the challenges ahead. There will be no belly growth for a few more weeks, but by week 7 you can definitely expect to start feeling some of the typical symptoms (if you haven't already!). nine0003

The uterus has doubled in size, although your body has not yet changed noticeably and the sensations in the abdomen are barely noticeable. An umbilical cord was formed - a link between mother and child. This is a way to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the embryo and remove waste products. Be prepared for a possible increase in nausea, fatigue, heartburn, and other pregnancy symptoms.

In most women with their first pregnancy, the growth of the belly is not noticeable until about the 12th week. If this is not the first baby, the stomach may appear earlier due to stretching of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall. In the meantime, enjoy your slim figure. nine0003

7 weeks pregnant: signs and symptoms you may experience

By now, your uterus is the size of a lemon. It may not seem like much, but it is about twice as much as it was before you got pregnant. Although the load on the body is not yet so great, but do not be surprised if at this stage of pregnancy you begin to feel more and more tired. Fatigue is likely to be one of the most visible signs of what's going on in your body, so be prepared to accept it and make adjustments to your routine accordingly. nine0003

You may also experience signs and symptoms such as chest tightness and tenderness and the need to urinate more than usual. "Morning sickness," the nausea that many pregnant women experience, may be more pronounced at this stage—it can happen at any time of the day, but morning sickness usually subsides by around 12–14 weeks. If you do not have toxicosis, this is also quite acceptable. And his absence does not mean at all that something is wrong with the baby.

Note nine0003

Some moms-to-be are able to alleviate stomach problems with ginger, vitamin B6, and dietary modification. Moms who are 7 weeks pregnant with twins may be more likely to have nausea and vomiting as they are likely to have elevated levels of hormones that cause morning sickness.

Some women may experience sore or bleeding gums during pregnancy. It is always a good idea to practice strict oral hygiene, especially during pregnancy. If you haven't already done so, talk to your dentist to check the overall health of your mouth and teeth and make recommendations for oral care products. nine0003

Food cravings or food aversions

You may have a desire to eat certain or even unusual foods, or a reluctance to approach certain foods that you previously thought were good (or even tasty!). Food aversion is a natural way to keep you from potentially dangerous food. It is usually associated with morning sickness. Treat yourself occasionally, but choose healthy food whenever possible.

Frequent urination

If it seems that you constantly want to go to the toilet, it's not your imagination. Although outwardly you do not yet look pregnant, the uterus has already doubled in size, and blood flow to the pelvis has also accelerated. nine0003

Acne

Acne is a breakout due to hormonal changes in your body. Before using any acne products, check with your doctor to make sure they are safe to use during pregnancy.

Increased salivation

Here's a symptom you didn't even expect! Excess saliva is also likely caused by hormones and may be associated with nausea.

Mood Swings

Not only are your hormones out of whack and you're probably still getting used to the idea of pregnancy, your interesting position can make you feel extra emotional. nine0003

Cramping in the lower abdomen

Cramping in early pregnancy is normal. Eventually, a baby develops inside your uterus. You will feel the baby moving in a few weeks, but at this stage of pregnancy you will definitely feel the occasional spasms and tension. These are the uterine ligaments that are stretched due to her growth.

By the way

You may not have any symptoms at 7 weeks pregnant. If so, consider yourself lucky! Some moms-to-be worry that the absence of pregnancy symptoms may be a sign of a problem, but this is absolutely not true. Remember that every woman experiences pregnancy differently. If you have any concerns, be sure to tell your OB/GYN about them, but unless the symptoms are severe or painful, you're probably fine. nine0003

Ultrasound at 7 weeks pregnant

7 weeks is a little earlier than the standard ultrasound. In most clinics, the first scan of a pregnant woman is done between 8 and 14 weeks. It is usually followed by a new scan at 18–21 weeks. If the doctor needs any additional information, clarification of the term or confirmation that you are carrying twins, he will prescribe an ultrasound at the 7th week of pregnancy. In addition to the fact that the doctor will evaluate the development, measure all sizes and specify the gestational age, he will take a photo of the fetus for you as a keepsake. It can be placed in an album with photos and videos of your changes during the waiting period. nine0003

Lifestyle at 7 weeks pregnant

Even if you don't have toxicosis, pregnancy can be a difficult time for you, but try to lead a healthy lifestyle. This will provide the best support for you and your baby throughout the entire term. Your diet should contain a rich selection of foods from all recommended food groups, including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible. You should also drink 8 to 10 glasses of water, juices, compotes and other drinks. But avoid sugary sodas, boxed juices, and drinks with dyes and preservatives. nine0003

Try not to dwell on the outdated idea of "eating for two" - in fact, you only need about 300 extra calories a day to cover your child's needs. And don't worry too much if nausea or vomiting in early pregnancy results in decreased appetite. If you've been on a diet and eating well in previous weeks, your child will still get what they need.

Sex at 7 weeks pregnant

Unless your doctor has restricted sex for certain reasons, your sex life can continue as normal throughout your pregnancy. nine0003

Helpful tips for expectant mothers

You are likely to feel more tired and nauseous than in previous weeks, so take appropriate action. Let friends, family, and partner know that you may need support during this period. And try to include regular rest periods in your daily routine so you don't get too tired.

Morning sickness (or nausea in the afternoon or evening!) may be common at the moment, and this may mean that your appetite is limited. Try to survive this phase as best as possible, because by 12-14 weeks the toxicosis will pass. Even if you don't feel like eating, keep your blood sugar levels up by eating small snacks throughout the day. nine0003

If you haven't already done so, make an appointment with your doctor and register. The doctor will prescribe a series of tests for you, send you for consultations to specialists in order to assess your general health, develop an observation plan. He will also select for you vitamins, mineral supplements for expectant mothers that need to be taken daily.
