Pregnancy Calendar Week 6

The Pregnancy Calendar Week 6 Baby

Your baby measures between four and six millimeters. His larynx and inner ears are forming. By the end of the week, his brain will have formed, and his newly developed mouth and jaw will hold ten dental buds.

Although you cannot hear it yet, your baby’s heart is beating, and the heart is visible via sonogram as a tiny, pulsating dot on the embryo’s transparent body.

Your Body

If you have not experienced Early Pregnancy Symptoms before now, you probably will during pregnancy calendar week 6. Fatigue and stress may top your list of symptoms as you worry about all the things that could go wrong with the development of your baby. This is especially true if you have experienced a Miscarriage in the past. The best thing you can do for you and your baby is to explore ways to reduce your stress level. Try some of these stress-relieving tips:

• Pregnancy Massage helps ease the tension in your body and will leave you more relaxed.
• Talk about what is bothering you. By identifying the source of your stress and talking it out with your spouse or a close friend, you can often put the problem in the proper perspective or come up with a reasonable alternative. For example, if your job causes you stress, you may be able to cut back the hours you work, put in for a transfer to a different department within the same company, or quit working until after the baby is born.
• During these early weeks of pregnancy, your energy is low as your body adjusts to the hormonal and physical changes. This will make it harder to ward off stressful situations. Rest. When you sleep, your body has a chance to regenerate and will relieve the stress you are feeling.
• Soak in a warm bath and allow the water to wash away the stresses of the day.
• Take a vacation from your stressful situation. For example, if your older children seem to demand more from you than you can give, leave them with your spouse or a family member for a day or afternoon and treat yourself to some quiet time.
• Educate yourself about pregnancy and the development of a growing fetus. Knowledge is an excellent weapon against your fears. If you know what constitutes a healthy pregnancy and the signs when you should seek immediate medical care, you will be less worried about the minor discomforts you may experience.

Nesting

It is not too soon for the nesting reflex to kick in. You may already be mentally planning the nursery and staring longingly at other women’s babies. Your instincts may be telling you to get organized and to prepare for the new addition to your family. One step you can take during pregnancy calendar week 6 is to start a pregnancy journal, chronicling your thoughts and feelings during these early days of your pregnancy.
