Changes occur during 8th week of pregnancy

Baby's Development -

The fingers and toes are just beginning to form in this week, and the arms can even flex at the elbows and wrists. The eyes are becoming more obvious because they’ve begun to develop pigment (color) in the retina. The intestines are getting longer and there isn’t enough room for them in the baby’s abdomen, so they protrude into the umbilical cord until week 12. The beginnings of the buds that will develop into baby's genitals have made their appearance, although they've not yet developed enough to reveal whether baby is a boy or a girl.


Woman's Body -

Pregnancy symptoms such as missed period, nausea, extreme fatigue, or tight clothes due to the swelling of your uterus have probably prompted woman to wonder whether she is pregnant. Once woman have confirmation of her pregnancy, schedule her first prenatal visit. Woman may need to go to the toilet more because uterus has doubled in size and is putting pressure on bladder. 
Pregnancy may be monitored by one of several health care professionals, including an obstetrician, nurse practitioner, midwife, or family doctor. Good prenatal care is extremely important for the health and safe delivery of baby, so be sure to make prenatal appointments a top priority.
