How is my body changing?

• Your body is making lots of hormones that help your baby to grow. Hormones can make you feel moody or cranky.
• Your breasts may get bigger. They may hurt and tingle.
• You may feel sick to your stomach. This is called morning sickness, even though it can happen any time of day. Try eating crackers and smaller meals.
• You may crave some foods or hate foods you usually like.
• You may feel tired. Rest when you can.

How is my baby growing?

• Tiny limb buds appear. These grow into your baby's arms and legs.
• Your baby's heart and lungs begin to form. By the 22nd day, the heart starts to beat.
• Your baby's neural tube begins to form. This becomes the brain and spinal cord.
• By the end of the first month, baby is about 0.6cm long.
