Ep 56: 6 Weeks Pregnant: Week By Week Pregnancy Guide

Congratulations, Mama – You’re 6 Weeks Pregnant! 🎉

Your baby is now the size of a tiny lentil, but don’t let their size fool you—big developments are happening this week! From a beating heart to forming facial features, your little one is growing rapidly.

Meanwhile, your body is also going through some major changes. Fatigue, nausea, and heightened senses are just a few symptoms you might notice as your hormones surge. Here’s what you can expect and how to care for yourself during week six.

Your Baby’s Development at 6 Weeks

• Size: About the size of a lentil.
• Heart: Now beating 100–160 times per minute.
• Buds for Limbs: The tiny beginnings of arms and legs are forming.
• Facial Features: Early stages of eyes, nose, and mouth are taking shape.

Your Body at 6 Weeks

You’re growing a human, and it’s a full-time job! Here’s what you might feel:

• Fatigue: Rest and sleep are key.
• Nausea: Keep light snacks like crackers nearby.
• Heightened Smell: Hormone surges may make smells stronger.
• Emotional Swings: Blame HCG and estrogen for those ups and downs.

Self-Care Tips for Week 6

• Hydrate: Keep a water bottle close.
• Eat Well: Focus on balanced meals, not perfection.
• Journal: Start a pregnancy diary to document your journey.

When to Call Your Provider

If you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding, or dizziness, don’t hesitate to reach out to your provider. It’s always better to check in for peace of mind.
