Week 6: Morning Sickness

Morning sickness often peaks during this week, but your baby is growing stronger every day with a beating heart and developing organs.

Managing Nausea

If you're experiencing morning sickness, try eating small, frequent meals and staying hydrated. Ginger and peppermint can also help with nausea.

Fetal Development

Your baby is now about the size of a sweet pea. The arms and legs are beginning to form, and the facial features are starting to develop.

Emotional Changes

Hormonal changes may cause mood swings and emotional sensitivity. This is completely normal and will stabilize as your pregnancy progresses.
