Fingers and toes begin to form, though they are still webbed. The embryo starts making spontaneous movements, though you cannot feel them yet. Eyelids are forming, and the ears are taking shape both internally and externally. The heart now has four fully formed chambers and is beating at 140-170 beats per minute. The intestines are developing, and the embryo's tiny tail is almost gone.
Nausea often peaks around weeks 8-10. Your uterus is now about the size of a large orange, though your bump probably is not visible yet. You may experience bloating, constipation, and indigestion as progesterone relaxes the smooth muscles in your digestive system. Some people notice increased saliva production. Your booking appointment with your midwife usually happens around this time.
Your midwife will take a full health history, check your blood pressure, test your urine, and arrange blood tests. You will discuss your care options, screening choices, and any health conditions. It usually takes about an hour. This is a great time to ask any questions you have.
