Eighth Week of Pregnancy

In the 8th week of pregnancy, the initial symptoms are accompanied by some new symptoms. Especially sleeplessness can be more annoying.

Many things happen during the eighth week of pregnancy. Although many women schedule their first appointment with the doctor during the sixth and seventh weeks, doctors sometimes recommend waiting until the eighth week or two periods for this appointment. Only then do we recommend to conduct the investigation etc.

The first appointment with the doctor takes a little longer than the rest of the appointments going forward, because the doctors fill you with lots of paperwork as well as answer a lot of your questions and then also do your ultrasound, so that you can give your child To see.

Ultrasound also shows the baby’s heartbeat. If you are going to be the mother of twins, then it will also be known from him. This is the birth certificate your child will receive after birth. By this week, you have already crossed half of the first quarter.

The second month of your pregnancy is about to end. Now you must have clearly understood the symptoms of your pregnancy. Necessary organs have formed in your child’s body and are now developing. Let us know how you are feeling in the eighth week:

1. Body changes in eighth week pregnancy

As the eighth week comes and goes, there are many internal changes in your body as well as external changes. As the baby grows, your uterus also grows and during this week the baby is shaped like a grape.

At this time your breasts will start to become more sensitive as they are getting ready for breastfeeding. Varicose veins (Varicose veins- seen to be elevated due to increased blood supply on the upper surface of the skin of the breasts) may also appear.

Not all women see these veins but they are definitely seen in some. Due to changes in hormones inside your body, the areola (the skin around the areola-nipples) and nipples become darker than normal. Montgomery tubercles (Montgomery tubercles — small glands on the surface of the areola) also develop and the nipples begin to enlarge.

2. Fetal development in eighth week pregnancy

Many special things happen in the eighth week of pregnancy. Firstly, your baby will now be called Fetus from Embryo. At this time, the tail of the fetus also starts disappearing.

This week’s baby is as big as cowpea and about three grams. Her intestines also develop and it spreads and reaches the umbilical cord by the 12th week. Although it is not visible, genitals also begin to form in her scrotum or ovary. During this time the bones begin to strengthen and elbows, wrists and other joints begin to take shape.

The toes of the feet and hands begin to separate, that is, if you look closely at the ultrasound, you will see the entire twenty fingers of the hands and feet.

Facial items such as the nose are clearly visible, ears are growing and internal and external development also takes place. The jaw and mouth of the baby are also clearly visible.

3. Ultrasound of eighth week gestation

In this week’s ultrasound image, the fetus is seen lying on its back and its head is on the right side of the screen. During this time you can see that due to the development of his brain, his head has become bigger than before. His brain is divided into three main parts: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain. As in the previous week, the western brain appears as a dot behind the fetal head.

4. Tips for eighth week pregnancy

In the 8th week of pregnancy, buy two maternity bras (according to the change in size of the breasts in pregnancy) before buying clothes according to the baby or your future size. When you go to buy a maternity bra, buy a bra of one or two centimeters larger than the normal size of your breasts. However, the growth rate of each woman will be different, so buy according to your body.

You can also make another purchase during the eighth week, if you have not, then buy pregnancy books. Reading these books will help you understand the experiences and physical changes. Talk to your partner as well as to read these books so that they too feel these experiences.

Keep taking vitamins in the form of medicines to maintain pregnancy health. Because these vitamins contain essential nutrients that are necessary for you and your baby.

5. Diet plan for the eighth week of pregnancy

10 calories / day is required in the first trimester of pregnancy. Talking about nutrients, it is also very important to consume iron, calcium, protein, folic acid, iodine etc. in proper proportion. Include every nutrient in your diet and also take the medicines given by the doctor as all the vitamins required at this time cannot be replenished by diet alone.

Minimize the intake of caffeinated foods. (Read more – Pregnancy Diet Chart)
