After a long period of preparation for pregnancy, the excitement of the pregnant woman is indescribable. Every day, I look in the mirror and observe my belly, imagining what my baby looks like now and when I can touch him. For a hundred curious babies in the belly, how old is the baby at 6 weeks pregnant?
At 6 weeks of pregnancy, the first prenatal examination is required, which will determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy through ultrasound. At this time, the mother can also see the baby's appearance and hear the sound of the baby's heartbeat through the ultrasound screen. At this time, the baby is still very young, about the size of a blueberry, still in its infancy, less than one centimeter in length, and weighs less than 5 grams.
But now this stage is the stage of rapid development for babies, almost one every day. At this point, the baby's head and facial organs, as well as respiratory and digestive organs, also begin to slowly differentiate. The baby already has the embryonic form of a heart, like a small sunflower seed. At the beginning, it can thump and beat vigorously, reaching up to 150 beats per minute, which is twice the heartbeat of a pregnant woman. The heart also begins to function.
In addition to changes in the baby, pregnant women may also experience some physiological changes. Although the belly has not yet become pregnant, the breasts are starting to swell and there may be a feeling of breast pain. Moreover, there may be some early pregnancy symptoms such as vomiting or drowsiness, and pregnant women must find ways to overcome them.
