But it still doesn&#8217;t look much like a baby. However, that won&#8217;t last much longer, because the embryo is growing incredibly fast. Small stumps are growing now that will soon form the limbs. And there are even beginning eyes already, but these are still far apart, almost on the sides of the head.    <\/p>\n<p>This week, the foundation is laid for the stomach, intestines, kidneys, and lungs, and a system of blood vessels is already present. By the end of this week, the little heart will start beating, and if an ultrasound were performed now, a spine would already be very faintly visible. Unimaginable, especially when you consider that your baby is now about 5 millimeters long.  <\/p>\n<h3>You<\/h3>\n<p>Most likely, you can already feel that you are pregnant. If only because your breasts are tender, you are tired, and you have to pee often. Frequent urination is a common ailment at both the beginning and the end of pregnancy. Right now, it is a result of fluctuating hormones; later, at the end of the pregnancy, it will be because the heavy uterus is pressing on the bladder.   <\/p>\n<p>Nausea is also a common complaint. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about it. Eat small meals spread throughout the day. And get up slowly in the morning. Unfortunately, some women suffer greatly from nausea and vomiting. If you vomit frequently, take good care of your teeth.     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 6 The little heart starts beating Your baby The little embryo in your belly has transformed from a grain&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1653,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"templates\/flex.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1752","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1752"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1753,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1752\/revisions\/1753"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
