Pregnancy Calendar – Week8
Week 8
The baby is now approximately 30mm long. The little tail that could be seen previously has now disappeared completely. The toes and fingers can be seen with little webbing. The baby’s head is still almost half of the baby’s weight and height.
The expectant mum might now be noticing a slight bulge in your belly, this is most due to water retention. At this stage the bulge in your pregnant belly won’t yet be noticeable to other people. The good news is that the placenta is now beginning to take responsibility for your baby’s hormone production so this should mean the mood swings will begin to subside.
