How Big is the Baby at Eight Weeks Pregnant?
By pregnancy week 8 your baby is anywhere from 14 to 20mm long, or about the size of a Lima bean! In fact, some women refer to their baby as their little 'bean' as they follow their pregnancy week by week. Though it is hard to believe, one day your little bean will grow into a full size baby!
Your Baby's Growth and Development
Your baby is doing a lot of growing during pregnancy 8 weeks. Up until this point in time your baby had a small tail... which starts to disappear this week, and your little one will soon have eyelids to cover his or her blossoming eyes. While the arms and legs are also lengthening, the fingers and toes are likely to still be webbed. Your baby's brain is also maturing during pregnancy week 8, as nerve cells begin to connect with one another, forming the groundwork for communication later in life.
Did you know the tip of your baby's nose is already formed by pregnancy 8 weeks? The lungs are also working hard at maturing, though they won't be fully mature until near term. However, tubes leading from your baby's throat to the lungs begin to form branches.
By week eight, your baby should have distinct elbows, which allow the arms to curve around the chest. Your baby's organs continue to develop with lightning quick speed. Before you have time to even blink an eye, your little one will resemble a miniature human being, complete with ten fingers, ten toes, skin, and all the body parts we all have!
Your Growth and Development
You are definitely starting to grow by 8 weeks pregnant. Though your uterus continues to expand, it is likely that you still are not showing much on the outside. This is particularly true of first time moms, though you will likely start feeling some tightening along your waistline. You may want to start looking for maternity jeans.
Your healthcare provider might tell you that your uterus is now about the size of a grapefruit by pregnancy at 8 weeks. That is a lot of progress from its pre-pregnancy state, where it was smaller than a plum!
Women who have been pregnant before often report showing sooner than they did with their first pregnancy. While it is not uncommon to not show until the fifth month the first time around, many moms report that they started showing as early as eight weeks with their second and third pregnancies. If you are carrying twins or triplets, you will start showing sooner than your singleton peers, as your babies will be taking up a lot more room in the uterus.
¿Cómo está mi bebé?
El embrión ya tiene 8 semanas de edad y mide entre 13 y 19 mm. de longitud céfalo-caudal (de la cabeza a la cola) y su aspecto se está tornando cada vez más humano.
Los oídos ya se están formando y los dedos comienzan a visualizarse al final de esta semana. La médula espinal se puede ver y las vértebras y costillas comienzan a crecer. Su piel tiene dos capas y se inicia el desarrollo de los músculos de todo el cuerpo.
¿Qué me sucede esta semana?
Puedes sentir algunas molestias uterinas en este período, ya que el útero ha aumentado considerablemente de tamaño. Estas molestias son muy frecuentes, imagínate que tu útero ha aumentado desde un tamaño similar al de una pera hasta el de un melón. Es como para que tengas algunas sensaciones nuevas, ¿no?.
Cualquier hemorragia en este período es anormal, siendo un signo de alarma que deberías comentar inmediatamente a tu ginecólogo.
Tu médico seguramente ya te habrá solicitado algunos test de laboratorio y una ecografía para confirmar el tiempo exacto de tu embarazo.
Recuerda de evitar la ingesta de alcohol, tabaco, drogas, medicamentos y reducir la toma de café al mínimo, ya que altas dosis de cafeína están asociadas a interrupciones de embarazo durante el primer trimestre. También debes evitar exponerte a radiaciones, como los rayos X (radiografías), y sustancias químicas peligrosas.
