Here's your 8-week SMA® Baby Club! If you find that you're happy one minute then down in the dumps the next, we can explain why in your update below...
Guess what...in just a week your little clever clogs has grown some skin. Not only that, all its organs are now in place and it has a head and spine. It still has those odd webbed feet, but proper little toes are on their way.
You at 8 weeks
Unexpected irritability? Mood swings? Cravings? Nausea? Insomnia? All these are to be expected about now. Things are going to get a bit real from now on. So be gentle on yourself and ask others around you to be too.
If you're a regular exerciser, you can continue for as long as it feels OK. But it's a good idea to talk to a doctor before starting anything strenuous. Don't go for long runs. And try yoga and pilates for good low-impact workouts.
To help keep your energy levels up, eat starchy foods like bread, pasta and beans with every meal. Celery, berries and wholegrain breakfast cereals can help with constipation - but don't forget to wash and scrub fruit and veg carefully.
