The Week of Buds — Week 7

1,0 cmTrimester 1
Your baby says

This week there are small bumps at my sides. Arms or legs? I'll find out later too.

What may be happening this week

During this period, arm and leg buds may become more distinct, and the brain may go through a fast stage of development. The order and pace of these details can vary from person to person.

A note for you

For the mother, tiredness or nausea may set the rhythm of the day this week. For the father or partner, taking on a small share of the chores is one way to be part of these days.

Let the buds grow at their own pace. Let's not ask more of this week.

Sizes are averages and every baby grows at their own pace. This page is general information, not medical advice.
