Welcome to Week 6 of pregnancy.
Although your baby is only around the size of a sweet pea, measuring approximately 4–6 mm, they're growing and developing at an incredible rate.
This week:
• Your baby's tiny heart is beating.
• Their brain and nervous system continue to develop rapidly.
• Tiny arms and legs are becoming more defined.
• Eyes, ears and facial features are beginning to take shape.
You may also start noticing stronger pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness, tiredness, sore breasts or food aversions.
Many families choose to book an Early Reassurance Scan from 6 weeks for extra peace of mind. It's often the first opportunity to see your baby and, depending on your stage of pregnancy, check for a heartbeat.
Follow our Growing Together with Numi Scan series each week as we guide you through every stage of your pregnancy.
