The little head is taking shape more and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n While last week only a few bumps were visible where the arms should develop, this week your child already has clear little arms. And in a few days, the outlines of the hand will develop at the ends of the arms. <\/p>\n The head is also taking shape more and more. There are already eyes, a nose, nostrils, and a mouth. However, the head is enormously large in proportion to the rest of the body, and that will remain the case for a while. Only later in the pregnancy will the body become somewhat larger in proportion. <\/p>\n Your baby is still growing at a brisk pace, about 1 millimeter a day. That doesn’t seem like much, but it is when you consider that two weeks ago your baby was only the size of a grain of rice and is now already the size of your little finger nail. <\/p>\n If you were to have an ultrasound now, you would already be able to see the heart beating. Usually, however, it is a vaginal ultrasound so early in the pregnancy. That provides a better image at such an early stage. <\/p>\n Incidentally, you only get such an early ultrasound if there is a medical reason for it. For example, if you are at risk of a multiple pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. But also if you have had a miscarriage before or if you are experiencing some blood loss. That blood loss does not always necessarily mean anything bad. <\/p>\n It is quite possible that this is still from implantation bleeding, or that it is contact bleeding. Such bleeding is caused by a small blood vessel in the cervix rupturing. The cervix is \u200b\u200bnow very well supplied with blood, which can cause some blood loss during intercourse. This usually involves no more than a drop of blood or a little light red discharge. If you experience this frequently, please visit your midwife. <\/p>\n However, blood loss can of course also mean that you are having a miscarriage. In that case, you often experience abdominal pain as well, and it is advisable to contact your midwife and\/or GP. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Week 7 The little head is taking shape more and more.
