Early Pregnancy
Updated on 3 November 2023
Throughout their pregnancy, mothers are always wondering what is going on with their baby each moment. Like, how many months is 8 weeks pregnant? Well, she is two months pregnant at this time, and questions about pregnancy are pretty normal at this point.
At week 8 of pregnancy, the baby starts growing a few millimetres daily. The baby’s nose, lips, and eyelids develop along with their fingers and toes, which are only a little webbed at this point. The baby's taste buds also start to develop during this stage
At week 8 of pregnancy, due to the change in hormone levels, the mother will feel the following symptoms:
As the milk-producing lobules in the breasts start to expand at this point, the breasts may feel bigger, heavier, and also very sore.
Due to hormonal fluctuations and changes in blood pressure and sugar levels, the mother may experience a high level of fatigue at this time.
At week 8, nausea could be really strong due to hormonal changes.
Mothers should try to avoid any scent they might be sensitive to as a heightened sense of smell developed at this point can cause nausea.
Cramping is normal as the ligaments in the mother’s abdomen are stretching due to the expansion of the uterus.
Constipation is another significant symptom that the mothers face at this point. To avoid this, they should drink plenty of water, incorporate fibre-rich fruits and veggies into their diet, and take long walks.
A mother may experience spotting at this point, which may or may not be alarming. If this happens, they should consult their physician immediately to rule out any problems.
At this point, as the baby is growing by leaps and bounds, the mother can consider the following to ensure the growth is healthy:
8 weeks pregnant in months translates to the 2-month mark. At this point, 32 weeks are remaining in the pregnancy. The mother should continue caring for her health properly to make this a smooth and safe journey.
The mother is currently going through her first trimester.
At this point, the mother has 32 more weeks to go before delivery.
At week 8, the baby is growing at an amazing rate and is approximately half to three-quarters of an inch long in size, like a raspberry.
At 8 weeks of pregnancy, physicians generally prescribe the first prenatal checkup, where one may see a glimpse of their 8-week foetus on the ultrasound.
