You

Some women will have extreme bouts of nausea, while the lucky ones will scarcely have a trace. The mere sight of certain foods may send you running, or else you just can't stop eating everything in sight. Be prepared for extreme swings in terms of your nausea, that way you won't be caught by surprise after a couple of 'Great I'm eating again' days.

If you do have serious morning sickness, try nibbling saltine crackers and sipping ginger ale before you even think of getting out of bed. Continue eating small snacks throughout the day as sometimes an empty stomach can make nausea worse.

If you have evening sickness, which is not uncommon, swap your big meal to the morning and eat something light, such as a bowl of cereal, for dinner.

Your Baby

Baby is still considered a fetus at this point. He is beginning to take on human features and looks more like a miniature person, but his head is still the largest part of all 3.1cm cms of him. He weighs just 4 grams. His arms and legs are short and thin, and curled up tight next to his body. In the coming weeks the rest of your baby's body will grow to be more in proportion to his head. His skin is clear and see-through, so if you were to have a 4D ultrasound you could see the inner working of your baby too.
