Your baby is growing quickly now. It has started on the two halves of its brain and is working hard at its sense organs (nose, mouth, eyes). Its tiny heart is now beating and you'll be able to hear it on your first ultrasound.
You at 7 weeks
Feeling a little tense this week? That's your hormonal changes kicking in. Your breasts may be fuller. And your increased blood flow might make you feel a little weird down below. It's all perfectly normal.
The notorious morning sickness can strike at any time of the day. To alleviate it, try to avoid strong flavours at breakfast. And try ginger in your hot drinks or food - many mums swear by it.
The no-nos: raw seafood (unless definitely frozen first), undercooked or cured meat (such as salami), all types of pâté, soft or blue cheeses. Eggs produced under the British Lion code are now considered safe to eat runny or raw. Be sure to look for the red lion stamp and make sure they're in date.
