Pregnancy Week by Week: Week 6...
Week 6
What Is Happening To Your Body
Pregnancy symptoms may grow stronger this week, including morning sickness, which, contrary to its name, can occur at any time of day. You may also find yourself making a lot of bathroom runs, as an increase in blood flow to your pelvic area, a growing uterus, and increasingly efficient kidneys are increasing the need to urinate.
What Is Happening To Your Baby
The baby’s arm and leg buds have formed webbed structures that will become the hands and feet. It also now has a distinguishable body and head, and is starting to develop facial features. And, just 4 weeks since conception, your baby now has a brain.
