Week 8

Trimester 1

Baby's Development

Your baby is a raspberry.

Fingers & Tiny Toes — Webbed fingers and toes are forming, and your baby is beginning to make small spontaneous movements, though you won't feel them yet. The spine's tail-like structure has disappeared, and your baby is looking more and more human.

Your Symptoms

  • Indigestion and heartburn
  • Vivid dreams
  • Constipation
  • Fatigue
