Your pregnancy: 9 weeks
How your baby's growing:
Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain.

How your life's changing:
You still may not look pregnant even if your waist is thickening a bit. You probably feel pregnant, though. Not only are morning sickness and other physical symptoms out in full force for most women, but you may feel like an emotional pinball as well.
Mood swings are common now — it's perfectly normal to feel alternately elated and terrified about becoming a parent. Try to cut yourself some slack. Most women find that moodiness flares up at around six to ten weeks, eases up in the second trimester, and then reappears as pregnancy winds to a close.
When to break the news at work "I waited until after the first trimester to tell my boss. By then I wasn't as worried about something happening to the baby and had time to think about a maternity leave plan." — Kristin
Decision Guide: When to tell at work?
Some women spill the baby beans at work right away. Others wait as long as they can for fear that their pregnancy will affect how their boss or co-workers view them. Many women wait until they're in their second trimester, when their pregnancy is well established and the risk of miscarriage has declined significantly. What's the best time for you to announce? Here are some factors to consider:
Are you having any complications? If you are, and you have frequent visits to your caregiver or are very preoccupied, you might feel relieved if you told your colleagues early in your pregnancy.
How sick are you? If you're suffering from near-constant nausea or frequent vomiting, you may have to tell your supervisor about your pregnancy earlier than you'd prefer. Before you tell her, figure out what you want: Compassion? Time off? A flexible schedule until you get through the worst of it? Ask for what you need and then assure her that most women feel better by the end of the third month.
Is your job strenuous or potentially dangerous? For your baby's sake and your own, you'll probably want to come clean early on. Making your announcement right away will allow you to talk about changing your job responsibilities in a timely manner.
Will your supervisor and colleagues be supportive?This will depend on your workplace culture, the extent to which your workplace has been affected by other women's pregnancies, and your relationship with your supervisor. If you're confident that your employer will handle the news in a professional manner, announcing your pregnancy early means you can take advantage of any employer-provided services that can help make your pregnancy healthier and less stressful.
Unfortunately, some employers may be less than enlightened about pregnant employees. If you're concerned about your employer's reaction, proceed cautiously, and consider waiting to tell your boss until you're starting to show. You might also want to quietly take aside a colleague who's been pregnant at work and ask her how she was treated.
Finally, be aware of your legal rights. A federal law called the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) prevents covered employers from firing, demoting, or compensating women differently just because they're pregnant. In addition, many states have similar laws that prohibit discrimination against pregnant women.
What do most women do? Here's when thousands of BabyCenter members announced their pregnancies at work:
- 23 percent spilled the beans right away.
- 23 percent waited a few weeks until they absorbed the news themselves.
- 36 percent waited until after their first trimester.
- 14 percent waited until they started to show.
The good news: The vast majority had a positive experience — 83 percent said their boss was supportive when they revealed their baby news.

This Week's Activity
Start a daily ritual to connect with your baby. Diane Sanford, a clinical psychologist who focuses on pregnancy and postpartum adjustment, encourages women to set aside two five- to ten-minute periods a day to think about their baby. Just after waking up and before going to sleep works well for many expectant moms. During these times, sit quietly and gently rest your hands on your belly. Focus on your breathing and then start thinking about your baby (your hopes and dreams, your intentions as a parent, etc.). It's a great way to initiate the bonding process and to help you plan for the kind of parent you want to be.

Your pregnancy: 7 weeks
How your baby's growing:
The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.
If you could see inside your womb, you'd spot eyelid folds partially covering her peepers, which already have some color, as well as the tip of her nose and tiny veins beneath parchment-thin skin. Both hemispheres of your baby's brain are growing, and her liver is churning out red blood cells until her bone marrow forms and takes over this role. She also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. A loop in your baby's growing intestines is bulging into her umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from her tiny body.

Your uterus has doubled in size in the past five weeks, and eating may feel like a chore — or worse — thanks to morning sickness, which by now may be in full swing. (If you're feeling fine, don't worry — you're lucky!)
You may need to pee more than usual, too, thanks to your increasing blood volume and the extra fluid being processed through your kidneys. (By now, you already have about 10 percent more blood than you did before you were pregnant. And by the end of your pregnancy, you'll have 40 to 45 percent more blood running through your veins to meet the demands of your full-term baby.) As your uterus grows, pressure on your bladder will send you to the bathroom as well.
About half of the women who feel nauseated during the first trimester will find complete relief by about 14 weeks. For most of the rest, it'll take another month or so for the queasiness to ease up. It's unlikely, though, that the need to pee more than usual will ease up. In fact, research shows that both the frequency and volume of urine tends to increase over the course of pregnancy.
3 Questions About Prenatal checkups
Sometime in the next few weeks is the perfect time to see your healthcare provider for your first prenatal visit. Good prenatal care helps give your baby a healthy start in life.
Q1.
How should I prepare for my first appointment? Write down all of your questions and bring them with you so you can use your time effectively and get the professional advice you're hungry for. Mention everything you're feeling or wondering about, no matter how insignificant. Also:
- Bring a list of all your medications (prescription and over the counter, including supplements) so your caregiver can assess whether they're safe to take now.
- Look back over your calendar and note the first day of your last period. Your doctor or midwife will use this date to estimate your baby's due date. (Don't worry if you haven't been keeping track or have irregular periods. If you don't have a reliable menstrual date, your caregiver can schedule an early ultrasound to date your pregnancy.)
- Take some time to review your family medical history and your partner's. If you're not sure whether anyone in your family has a chromosomal or genetic disorder, check in with your parents or another close relative. Your caregiver will ask you about this to help guide her prenatal testing recommendations.

Q2.
What happens during these appointments? Your practitioner will generally start by asking how you're feeling physically and emotionally, whether you have any complaints or worries, and what questions you may have. She'll have other questions as well, which will vary depending on how far along you are and whether she has specific concerns.
The goal of prenatal visits is to see how your pregnancy is proceeding and to provide you with the information you need to help keep you and your baby healthy. Your midwife or doctor will check your weight, blood pressure, and urine; measure your abdomen; check the position of your baby; listen to your baby's heartbeat; perform other exams and order tests as appropriate; and closely monitor any complications you may have and intervene if necessary.
At the end of the visit, your practitioner will review her findings with you, explain the normal changes to expect before your next visit and the warning signs to watch for, counsel you about lifestyle issues (such as the importance of good nutrition and avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and drugs), and discuss the pros and cons of optional tests you may want to consider.
Q3.
Should my partner go with me? That's up to you. Some couples find that they benefit from going to prenatal appointments together — especially the biggies like the first visit, the ultrasound exam, and anytime key test results will be revealed. Here's what other BabyCenter couples say: 57% of pregnant women who took our poll said they always want their partners to attend appointments with them. 37% of partners say they go to every prenatal appointment.
If you're not happy with your caregiver, look for another. The average woman has about ten to 15 prenatal visits, so it's important to choose someone you like and trust. For more information, see How to choose a prenatal caregiver and What to expect at prenatal appointments.
- Some moms-to-be want their partner to join them for every prenatal appointment. Others are happy to go on their own. How do you feel about it?
This Week's Activity:
Take a photo of your belly. Have someone take a picture of you this week — before your pregnancy starts showing. Then keep taking photos once a month until your baby arrives. It's a great way to track your progress, and you'll love having the keepsake. Tips for a great shot: Consider wearing the same outfit, standing in the same spot, and striking the same pose (profiles work best) for each photo. Black-and-white shots and nudes or semi-nudes can be especially beautiful.

孕吐嚴重食乜好？
「有咗bb七週，作嘔得很厲害！早上一起床個胃酸到好痛好痛，好似二十年冇食過嘢咁！去吃早餐，見到咩都想嘔，不停吐胃氣！辛辛苦苦吃下了一點點，又開始頂胃，個胃脹到爆炸！」這個情景不少Mammy懷胎十月時都經歷過，即使有醫生處方止嘔藥依然無甚幫助，在這個時候除了謹記4大飲食原則，不少食物都有助舒緩孕吐，有需要的準Mammy不妨試試。
生薑：生薑的止嘔功效顯著，不論用來煲水、製茶，抑或切成薄片含在嘴裡都一樣有效；想美味點的話，可以將薑汁加入甘蔗汁一杯拌勻，自製甘蔗生薑汁味道更可口。
梳打餅：梳打餅是不少上班孕Mammy的首選，皆因方便攜帶，既方便又便宜。梳打餅屬於鹼性食物，有助中和胃酸，早上吃幾片可預防嘔吐。
綠葉蔬菜：綠葉蔬菜含有豐富的鎂（magnesium），如果準Mammy攝取鎂不足會增加孕吐風險。紫菜、菠菜含量較高，乾豆、果仁、種子類、全穀類食物亦是不錯的選擇。
維他命B6：雖然米飯飽麵含有維他命B6，不過在經過烹煮後已經所餘無幾。麥芽、牛肉、動物肝臟與腎臟、大豆、糙米、蛋、燕麥、花生、胡桃等都是富含維他命B6的食物，適量進食有助舒緩孕吐症狀。
蘋果：中醫認為蘋果可以生津潤肺，健脾開胃，製成果泥進食能減輕噁心反胃的感覺。
以上飲食儘管有助舒緩孕吐，不過各位Mammy都要多休息，同時保持自己心情開朗，才會事半功倍。
