Watch our video guide to Week 8 of your pregnancy journey:
What's Happening in Week 8?
Your baby is now about the size of a raspberry and officially graduates from embryo to fetus! All the major organs and body systems are forming. Tiny fingers and toes are developing, though they're still webbed. The baby is constantly moving, though you won't feel it yet.
The heart is beating at about 150-170 beats per minute - twice as fast as yours!
Tips for Week 8
- This is an ideal time for an early pregnancy scan
- You may notice your waist thickening slightly
- Morning sickness is often at its worst around now
- Start planning your first prenatal appointment
