With the onset of pregnancy cardinally changesnot only the outlook of a woman, but also her well-being. During this period the organism of the future mother undergoes enormous changes.

In many cases, the situation is clarified by the seventh week of pregnancy. What happens at this time, you will learn from the article. Below, the woman's state of health at this stage will be described. Also it is necessary to tell, how is spent US of 7 weeks of pregnancy. What happens to the embryo? How does the fetal development take place in 7 weeks of pregnancy? This you will read below.
Learn about the new position
Often a woman about her new position reports a 7 week gestation. Feelings change and everything becomes somehow different.
Menstrual cycle of the average womanis four to five weeks. If a woman does not plan a pregnancy, she does not even think about the delay. Sometimes women find that they are absent only after two or three weeks. This is especially true for business ladies.
Pregnancy 6-7 weeks is diagnosed fairlysimply with the help of a classic test. You can buy it in a pharmacy or any supermarket. Often, the future mother is made to be alert and think about new sensations. If the emerging baby is coveted and long-awaited, then the pregnancy of 6-7 weeks is not a surprise for the future mother. Most often a woman already knows about her new position, as she carefully follows her menstrual cycle.
Fetal size
7 obstetric week of pregnancy is characterized by the following parameters. The baby has a length of about 15-20 millimeters. At the same time, its weight is only a few milligrams.

Appearance of the embryo
When there is a 7 midwifery pregnancy week, yourthe kid still looks like a fish or shrimp. He has a tail and a large head. Of course, at this stage of development the cranium of the crumb is still very small. Its diameter is about half a centimeter. However, in comparison with the general body, the head seems quite large.
The crumbs are more like tennis racquets.They have a long length and expand to the brushes. The legs look much shorter. That is why the appearance of the embryo at 7 weeks of gestation (the size of the fetus was described above) seems rather ridiculous. Do not worry. With the passage of time, everything changes. In the coming months your baby will look like an ordinary child.
Contact with the walls of the uterus
If you do ultrasound 7 weeks of pregnancy, you can see that there is still no so-called umbilical cord. The embryo is located in the fetal egg, which is tightly attached to the wall of the uterus.
The placenta and umbilical cord are formed by severalweeks later. Now these bodies are just beginning their formation. It is worth noting that at this stage the placenta has a thickness of about one centimeter. However, it can not yet function fully. In 7 weeks of pregnancy, the development of the fetus is completely dependent on the lifestyle and health of the mother. If later the umbilical cord reliably protects the crumb from the influence of harmful factors, at this stage, any impact can adversely affect the formation of the embryo and its organs.
