This week brings several changes in you and your baby’s body, and you must start planning for days to come as well as for the arrival of the baby in your life.

During pregnancy week 7, you can either lose or gain weight. It is completely normal, and no need to worry about whether you gain or lose weight. When you are 7 weeks pregnant, you may experience cravings for specific foods and want to eat larger portions to fight the consequences of morning sickness.

During this week also, you may still have the symptoms of morning sickness. If this condition continues in the same manner, you won’t gain much more weight than very few pounds.

Constipation and irregular bouts of indigestion are most common during pregnancy week 7. You may also feel dizziness and lightheadedness, and sometimes headaches. Pregnant women already suffering from migraines should take the doctor’s advice for precise medication and avoid the foods that trigger these attacks. Sometimes, hormonal changes can also cause migraines.

Keep your eyes on the changes in your body, and if you notice anything strange, you should immediately consult your doctor.

Also, there is a great chance to notice spotting during this week. Most pregnant women consider it an indication of the period that didn’t occur, but it is caused by the embryo getting more connected to the uterus walls. Pregnancy symptoms

Physical changes that occur:

The rapid increase of progesterone hormone can make your face break out. Due to hormonal changes, acne and pimple come out on your face and back. It is completely normal for pregnant women and they will disappear after childbirth. So, drinking plenty of water and washing your face twice a day can make a face look fresh and decrease the occurrence of acne.

During pregnancy week 7, some important changes take place to the cervix. During this week, the body produces the mucus plug, which will structure at the entrance of the cervical canal and enclose the uterus for safety, keeping it there until childbirth.

In a 7 week pregnant woman, the uterus will increase in size; it almost becomes double than usual. When you are at the end of your pregnancy, the size of the uterus will almost become 100 times bigger than its usual size. Third Month pregnancy

The blood in your body will increase by 10%. The increase in blood flow and the increase in the uterus size can put great pressure on the bladder, causing the urge to urinate more frequently.

Knowing what to eat and what not to eat will help your baby’s healthy development. Pregnancy cravings are very natural for most women but don’t take the foods in large quantities, which will make you overweight during pregnancy. Some studies said that cravings indicate a lack of nutrients in your body, so eating a lot of fruits and green leafy vegetables is most important. Adolescent pregnancy
