What does an embryo look like at 7 obstetric weeks. What happens in the seventh obstetric week of pregnancy (ultrasound photo)? initial development of the fetus

07.12.2021

Never again will a baby experience so many changes in a limited amount of time as it is now in the first trimester of pregnancy. On 7 obstetric week the baby changes daily, constantly, every minute.

The processes that take place inside the mother's womb can be compared with magic or a miracle. About what the baby has become by this time, and what awaits him in the next seven days, we will tell in this material.

The age of the baby - two views on the term

7 obstetric week corresponds to the full 4 weeks of the baby's life from the moment of his conception. The fifth week has gone. Since ovulation in different women occurs in different time, but in most cases in the very middle of the cycle, then to simplify the task it is more convenient for obstetricians to calculate the period from the first day of the last menstruation. Therefore, a woman may be confused, because she is used to counting the embryonic period.

In fact, all medical examinations, all ultrasound standards and test results are always indicated in obstetric weeks, and therefore now, when a little more than 4 weeks have passed since conception, and after a delay - only 2 full weeks, it is the seventh week of pregnancy.

If 7 weeks have passed since the conception of your crumbs, then we are talking about a completely different period - it is the 9th week of pregnancy.

embryo development

At week 7, it is believed that the most critical period in terms of the likelihood of losing a baby has already been left behind. In fact, the threat of abortion is still very high, because the baby is very vulnerable, any adverse factor can affect its development.

As long as your baby is still considered an embryo. In fact, a transitional neo-fetal period begins, which will last 2 weeks. At the 9th week of pregnancy, the fetal period of intrauterine development will begin, and then everyone will officially call the baby a fetus, not an embryo.

Now the baby is in a transitional stage - it is already essentially not an embryo, but not yet a fetus. Therefore, it can be called both an embryo and a fetus. Many doctors tend to believe that the baby is already worthy of being called a fetus, therefore, in the conclusion of an ultrasound scan at this time, they already write that it is the fetus that is visualized inside the uterus.

Behind was the early embryonic period, when the baby was a cluster of cells that were dividing. Now he has acquired a human-like shape, and this similarity is increasing every day.

Height and weight

A little more than four weeks have passed since conception, but the baby has increased by about 10 thousand times since the day of conception! The fetus-embryo grows very intensively, and at the very beginning of this week its growth will be approximately half as much as at its end.

At 6-7 obstetric weeks, the growth of the baby is about 2 centimeters. At the end of the week, growth will increase to 5 centimeters. Weight does not come so quickly, the stage at which the child will begin to gain grams has not yet started. In the meantime, the weight of the baby is a little less than a gram, on average - 0.8 grams.

The size of the crumbs can now be compared with a solid-sized bean. But this is its entire size - along with the fetal membranes. Mom's uterus has already grown one and a half times, and now it is the size of an orange. The “bean” baby is still very comfortable and spacious in it, there is enough space in the uterine cavity.

Nervous system

The body of the baby at this time looks disproportionate. The largest part of his body is his head. It is not yet even, not rounded, teardrop-shaped, but its impressive size is not a whim of nature, but an urgent need for it.

Now the baby looks like a tadpole because his brain grows more intensively than all other organs. At week 7, the brain is already divided into two hemispheres - left and right. The medulla is being formed at a rapid pace.

These days, a lot is decided for the baby, because five cavities resembling bubbles form in his head. It is these cavities that are destined to soon become parts of the brain.

Each "bubble" will correspond to one of the parts of the brain. The neural tube is not yet closed, the development of the nervous system is very intensive.

It is on these seven days, which refer to the seventh obstetric week, that the formation and development of a network of nerve fibers begins. It is they who will soon connect the brain and spinal cord with all internal organs.

If the network is formed correctly and accurately, the baby should not have problems with the work of the central nervous system, but if negative factors interfere with this process now, then severe malformations are not excluded - microcephaly (reduction in the size of the brain), hydrocephalus (dropsy of the brain ), anencephaly (absence of the brain), various neural tube defects. In most cases, such defects are not compatible with life.

Often they accompany a fetus with chromosomal pathologies, and it is the anomaly at the level of the chromosome set in this case that is the main negative factor that "intervenes" in the processes of formation of the nervous system and brain at 6-7 obstetric weeks.

Everything that is happening with the expectant mother and baby now can be described in a nutshell - a global restructuring. That is why now a woman should be especially careful and attentive to her health, not be exposed to tobacco smoke, the smell of paints, varnishes, radiation, not be in places with strong vibration, not take medicines and other substances without medical indications.

Internal organs

The baby's body still does not look like a human in the usual sense, but it no longer resembles the embryo of an animal. Through translucent shells and transparent skin, internal organs are visible, which are already beginning to take their place.

So, this week, the only intestine is undergoing transformations. It is divided into three main sections - the stomach, larynx and esophagus. Top part The intestine is connected to the only organ of the respiratory system so far - the trachea. The lower one from this week begins to turn into the urogenital sinus.

The rectum and appendix are formed. The middle of the intestine goes into the umbilical cord. These days, the laying of the biliary tract began, and the appeared pancreas begins to produce its own insulin.

As already mentioned, the respiratory organs are still few - only the trachea is present, but this week the formation of the lungs and bronchi begins, a start has already been made. It is at the fifth embryonic week that the formation of vision begins.

The convex part of the anterior cerebral bladder begins to protrude forward, this is where the development of the optic nerves and retina begins. The eyes are still like dark dots located on the sides of the head. Over time, they will begin to approach the center of the face to their place.

This week, the baby's heart becomes four-chambered, it pumps blood throughout the small body. In this, he is helped by blood vessels, which are also actively developing. Large blood vessels are growing especially actively this week.

Gender of the child

The gender of the child is determined directly at the moment of conception and remains a big secret until a certain period. 7 obstetric week is no exception. The gender is still indistinguishable. It is not possible to determine it.

The embryo develops regardless of sexual characteristics. However, it is this week that the genital ridges are already being formed, which will soon become the sex glands.

Where the genitals will soon be, the genital tubercle appears this week. A little later, in boys, it will turn into a penis, and in girls, into labia. In the meantime, the tubercles in babies of both sexes look the same. It is impossible to find out the sex of the child from them. Sex hormones in the child's body are not yet produced.

Methods for determining sex by fetal heartbeat, by blood updates, by blood type of parents are not reliable from the point of view of official medicine and are more like fortune telling on coffee grounds - matches are possible with a probability of 50% - either a boy or a girl.

Appearance

The appearance of the baby is still a little like a person, but every day the baby becomes more and more like him. The baby has a nose bud this week. And if it were not for the widely spaced eyes, the baby's face would already resemble a human face.

This week, the inner ear begins to form and the auricles are laid. So far, they look only like small seals made of cartilaginous tissue, but soon they will become our usual ears, and the baby will be able to hear.

The laying of milk teeth begins, the upper and lower jaws are formed. The spinal column is being formed, and the baby these days will “receive” the first cervical bend at its full disposal. From the position inherent in the embryo - half-bent - the baby gradually begins to emerge. This week he will begin to straighten his body like a caterpillar.

There are no feet on the legs yet, but their rudiments have already appeared, and where the heels will soon be, seals have appeared - future marigolds that will move to the fingers immediately after their formation.

All embryos have a tail. At week 7, it shortens almost twice, after a week or two it will become a vestige and turn into a coccyx. The lower limbs in children at this gestational age develop much more slowly than the arms.

His upper limbs now look like oars or shoulder blades - this is how the hands are formed. The fingers have not yet separated, there is a dense skin membrane between them, but very soon they can be counted on ultrasound.

The umbilical cord thickens, this week it becomes a link between the young, barely formed placenta, which is now only a little over a centimeter thick, and the baby. Uteroplacental blood flow begins to improve, but the placenta is still far from full work. While the yolk sac performs the main job of feeding the child.

What can the baby do?

The baby begins to move at 7 weeks. Naturally, the expectant mother cannot feel this. Until the moment when she begins to feel the movements of her son or daughter, there is still enough time. However, the absence of sensations does not mean the absence of movement.

At week 7 by obstetric measurement and at fetal week 5, the baby begins to bend and unbend the handles - paddles in the wrist area. These are his first movements, which by the end of the week are already given easily and naturally.

A new skill that allows the baby to unbend the body can be noted on an ultrasound if a woman goes to him at this time. At the moment of greatest extension, they usually begin to measure the so-called KTR - the coccygeal-parietal size.

Ultrasound at 7 weeks

Ultrasound this week is not considered mandatory and is not recommended. If the well-being of the expectant mother does not cause anxiety and fear, she does not have pain, unusual discharge, then there is no need for ultrasound scanning.

The impact of ultrasound waves on a growing fetus has not been fully studied, and therefore doctors recommend not to abuse this simple and demonstrative diagnosis.

The doctor may recommend an ultrasound at this time only in certain situations, when there are very specific indications for the study, without waiting for the first screening prenatal examination, which usually takes place from 10-11 weeks to 13 weeks of pregnancy inclusive.

A woman will have to go for ultrasound diagnostics right now if, when registering in a consultation with a gynecologist, some doubts, concerns and questions arise. So, ultrasound is now shown:

to confirm the fact of pregnancy;
to establish the fact of an ectopic, missed pregnancy;
to confirm or refute multiple pregnancy;
to examine the pelvic organs for signs of a threat of spontaneous abortion;
to clarify the duration of pregnancy;
to exclude complications of pregnancy with habitual miscarriage;
for information about the peculiarities of pregnancy, which occurred due to reproductive methods, such as IVF.

Ultrasound at this time is most often performed with an intravaginal probe, since the fetus is still very small so that it can be viewed through a denser anterior abdominal wall. The procedure does not take more than 15 minutes and is painless.

This week, the somnologist doctor necessarily assesses the viability of the fetus, specifies the number of fetuses, compares the size of the fetal egg with the norms for this period. For this, only two parameters are used so far. One of them is measured between the inner walls of the fetal membrane. It is called the average internal diameter of the fetal egg:

The average internal diameter of the fetal egg at 7 weeks of gestation:

Diameter of the fetal egg (SVD, mm)	What corresponds to the gestational age
	6 weeks + 1 day
	6 weeks + 2 days
	6 weeks + 3 days

Ultrasound examination at the seventh - ninth week of pregnancy is not included in the plan of mandatory examinations during the period of bearing a child. Most often, at these times, ultrasound is done if there are certain indications, and in some cases a woman does not know about pregnancy at all and comes to the study about gynecological problems that bother her.

seventh week of pregnancy

The main reasons for the appointment of ultrasound for a period of 7-9 obstetric weeks:

Availability spontaneous miscarriages in history.
Pregnancy after in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The manifestation of symptoms indicating the threat of termination of pregnancy (acute pain in the lower abdomen, the presence of spotting).
Exclusion of ectopic pregnancy - the doctor finds out the place of attachment of the fetal egg.
Setting the correct gestational age, date of birth.
Finding out the number of fruits.

Fetal development in the seventh - ninth week of pregnancy

At 7 weeks, the embryo is still completely unlike a person. Its weight is about 0.8 grams, and its height averages 8 mm. At this time, legs begin to form in the fetus, which so far look like fins. The rudiments of the handles are divided into the shoulder and forearm, membranes develop on the limbs, which later form into fingers. You can see that the heart of the fetus is divided into two chambers. It is still outside the body and beats at a speed of 150 - 160 beats per minute. Bronchial buds appear in the lungs. The digestive system is just beginning to form - the colon and pancreas are formed, and the liver is already producing blood. The rudiments of the nose, eyes and mouth appear on the face of the fetus. The kidneys are already responsible for excreting urine into the amniotic fluid.

By the ninth week, the embryo will grow to 30 mm, and its weight will double - on average it is 4 grams. Eyes are already formed, they are closed for centuries, ears are distinguishable. Hands and feet are actively growing, after 8 weeks, the membranes between the fingers disappear. The embryo can already make chaotic movements with its limbs, as well as swallow amniotic fluid.

How to prepare for research?

Preparation for ultrasound entirely depends on the chosen research method.

A transabdominal examination is done on a full bladder, so a woman should drink at least half a liter of liquid (pure water) one hour before the appointment. This is due to the fact that the aqueous medium conducts ultrasound waves better to the uterus, which lies behind the bladder. In the event that there is not enough fluid in the bladder, the doctor will ask the woman to drink more water and postpone the study for a while, or transfer it to another day.

To conduct a transvaginal ultrasound, the bladder, on the contrary, must be empty, therefore, immediately before seeing a doctor, a woman must empty it. A full bladder interferes with good visualization of the uterus and ovaries.

A common point in preparing for both methods is the restriction in the intake of gas-forming products. The intestine, overflowing with gases, makes it difficult to diagnose, blocking the access of ultrasonic waves to the uterus with its loops. If a woman suffers from bloating, then two hours before the appointment, you can take a carminative drug, such as Espumizan.

Before ultrasound, it is advisable to exclude the use of fresh vegetables and fruits.

How is the examination carried out?

Research at this time can be done in two ways: transabdominally and transvaginally. Performing a transvaginal ultrasound early dates more preferably, the use of a vaginal sensor improves the visualization of the fetal egg, allows you to assess the condition of the cervix, endocervix, and find out the exact location of the attachment of the fetal egg. However, there are contraindications for transvaginal examination. These include: the threat of abortion, the presence of spotting in a woman.

Transvaginal ultrasound is done as follows: a woman undresses below the waist and lies down on the couch, her legs slightly bent at the knees. The doctor gently inserts an ultrasound probe into the vagina and conducts an examination. A woman experiences discomfort during and after the procedure, as the doctor acts as carefully as possible, and the sensor is small.

When examining through the abdominal wall, the woman lies on her back and exposes her stomach, the doctor applies a special conductive gel to the skin of the abdomen and places the sensor on the iliac region. Due to a full bladder, a woman may experience a strong urge to urinate.

What does the doctor pay attention to?

At the time of the ultrasound, the doctor sees a schematic black-and-white image on the screen of the device, on which you can see a small “seed” in the uterine cavity - this is future child. The doctor determines its size by measuring the length from the tailbone to the crown. The yolk sac is well visualized as a dark spot with light contours. You can determine its size - it should not exceed 0.8 cm.

At this time, it is already possible to listen to the fetal heartbeat, therefore, in conclusion, data on the heart rate are entered. In addition, the specialist in conclusion notes the place of attachment of the fetal egg. Other measurements are not carried out at 7-9 weeks - the fetus is still too small. A detailed examination will be scheduled later - at week 12 as part of the first prenatal screening.

Fetal heartbeat

At the seventh or ninth week, it will not be possible to determine the sex of the baby - the genitals in girls and boys develop the same way at these times, differentiation according to male and female type will happen a little later - by the middle of the second trimester. To determine the sex of the baby, you can do an ultrasound after 16 weeks.

In addition to assessing the condition of the fetus, a specialist examines the corpus luteum. It is important to determine its size - in the event that they are below normal, the doctor may suspect an insufficient level of hormones that support pregnancy.

Is it safe to do an ultrasound in the seventh week?

The first trimester of pregnancy is characterized by an increased risk of spontaneous abortion, so doctors do not recommend ultrasound at 7-9 weeks without clear indications.

In cases where a transvaginal ultrasound was performed, you can notice the appearance of copious discharge. If the discharge does not contain blood impurities, then this is a variant of the norm - this is how the mucous membrane reacts to the ingress of a foreign object into the vagina. If a woman notices spotting, you should immediately contact your doctor.

The first trimester is the most important period in the development of the fetus, because it is during this period that all systems and organs are laid. A woman should carefully listen to her feelings, pay attention to the nature of the discharge and apply for medical care in case of suspicious symptoms.

7 obstetric week of pregnancy is the beginning of a new stage in the development of the baby. Now it is no longer called an embryo, but a fetus. He is growing rapidly - and acquires the features of a little man.

How does the baby develop at week 7, and what is special about this period in the womb?

7 weeks of pregnancy - fetal development, photo: how does the baby develop and how does it feel?

During this period, the baby develops at a rapid pace.

The main event that occurs at week 7 is that the sex is formed in the fetus. On ultrasound, it will not be possible to determine it yet, since now girls and boys look the same. But he already has a tubercle, inside of which is the rudiment of a male - or female - genital organ.

In other words, inside a woman there is already a baby of a certain gender.

What has been formed, what is happening, what does the baby look like at the 7th week of intrauterine development according to the obstetric period?

At week 7, the baby has fully formed the main parts of the body - the head, torso and limbs.

Another important achievement is that the child has a vestibular apparatus.

What does it mean?

This means that he can already move his arms and legs. Moreover, not just move, but even respond to touch. All this is facilitated by the developed muscular and nervous system.

The sensitivity of the skin develops, first of all, in the mouth area, preparing it for the appearance of a sucking reflex.

Some babies at this time are already starting to touch their body, the umbilical cord, the membrane of the fetal egg. The arms of the fetus are bent. The rudiments of fingers are already clearly visible on them.

Ultrasound - pregnancy 7 obstetric weeks, one fetus

Due to the peculiarities of blood circulation, the baby's body is still disproportionate. The head appears to be much larger than the body. On the head you can see the eyes, they look like black grains. We can clearly distinguish the mouth, nostrils. The rudiments of teeth and neck appear.

This is a very important period for the future. intellectual development child. After all, it is now that the hemispheres of the brain and the nervous system are being formed. For full development, he urgently needs such a microelement as folic acid.

Video: Ultrasound - pregnancy 7 weeks

With the help of ultrasound, it was noticed that babies for a period of 7 weeks are almost constantly in motion. But the woman still cannot feel it because of the small size of the fetus.

Ultrasound - twin pregnancy 7 obstetric weeks

For 9 months, the baby gets used to constant movement. This explains the fact that after birth, babies calm down faster if they are shaken in their arms.

The baby still does not see and does not hear - but he feels great with his skin.

As a rule, in the first trimester, transvaginal ultrasound. With it, you can examine the condition of the fetus in more detail.

Is there a heartbeat in the fetus at 7 weeks of fetal development?

The baby's heart at 7 weeks beats with a frequency 150 beats per minute.

With an ultrasound examination, the doctor evaluates how the heartbeat corresponds to the established norms. Pay attention to the frequency, rhythm and nature of contractions.

Failure to comply with these standards may mean that the child has a heart disease.

If the deviations are too severe, the doctor may advise you to terminate the pregnancy.

What happens in a woman's body at 7 weeks pregnant?

Changes in the body of a woman at the 7th obstetric week of pregnancy

The chest and abdomen of a woman at the 7th obstetric week of pregnancy - is the pregnancy visible externally?

Until 12 weeks, the abdomen should not be visible. Only if a woman gains weight, then her waist will also increase.

On this moment, the uterus is the size of an orange and is located in the lower abdomen. Therefore, there should be no visible changes.

The chest, on the contrary, grows quite quickly. But it all depends on the individual characteristics of each woman. In most cases, at this time, the breast becomes noticeably larger.

In addition, it is impossible not to notice symptoms such as heaviness in the mammary glands, pain, tingling. How the body prepares future mother to the lactation process.

What can and cannot be a woman at 7 weeks pregnant?

What is strictly prohibited for pregnant women:

Smoking.
Alcohol.
Sharp movements, falls.
Pairs of chemical compounds.
Long hot baths.
Medications.
Exposure to radiation.
Rigid diet.
Stress, overexertion.
Uncontrolled use of any folk remedies.

It is allowed in small quantities, if there are no contraindications and the threat of miscarriage:

Regular light exercise.
Sex.
Airplane flight.
SPA procedures.

What is possible and useful for the expectant mother:

Only fresh and natural food.
Maximum fresh air.
Complete rest.
Positive emotions.

Do not turn a blind eye to your need for rest. Even if a woman wants to sleep all day, there is nothing strange in this. The body spends a lot of effort to ensure that the child fully develops.

You need to learn to listen to your desires - and, if possible, fulfill them.

Any whim during pregnancy is not just a whim, but a need of the body. This should be known not only to the woman, but also to her immediate environment.

Fetal development at 7 weeks gestation

How does it look and develop embryo inside the womb 7th week of pregnancy? Most often, the fetus at this time is compared with a bean. If before that there was peppercorn - a bubble with petals of future arms and legs, now it is an elongated bean, already acquiring the outlines of a little man, but so far with a tail. The weight of your unborn baby now does not exceed 1 gram. But growth already increases to 11-13 cm.

Interestingly, to seventh week of pregnancy(by obstetric calculation) the fetus already has the rudiments of all organs and systems. The skeleton is actively formed and even milk teeth are laid.

It is important to know what is now starting to function endocrine system future baby, namely the thymus gland. It is she who provides the blood of the fetus T-lymphocytes. There are several types of them, each of which performs a certain clear task of protecting the body of the future baby.

Fighting autoimmune aggression T-suppressors.
All immune processes are not complete without T-helpers.
Foreign cells in the body kill T-killers.
Accelerate the movement of defense cells to harmful cells T-amplifiers.
memory T cells remember dangerous substances and immediately cause an immediate reaction of the immune system.

Interestingly, now the embryo is already able to experience stress. And here's why: the development of the adrenal medulla begins. And this part of the future brain is responsible for the production of adrenaline and norepinephrine. These substances cause the fetus to experience certain emotions and even stress. However, it all depends on the mother - if she is calm, then the baby will behave the same way. But the constant nervous strain in the mother can affect the increased nervousness, hysteria of the child after birth.

What factors affect the development of the fetus

On 7 weeks pregnant the embryo is not yet strong enough to protect itself from all adverse external influences. Therefore, literally any negative can now cause significant deviations in the development of the unborn baby and the formation of his body.

Bad habits(alcohol, smoking, drugs), drugs with contraindications for pregnant women, harmful chemical production, excessive physical activity, constant stress - all these are factors that can negatively affect the development and health of the unborn child too much.

What complications can occur at the 7th week of pregnancy

Often in the seventh obstetric week of pregnancy can occur miscarriages. For the most part, this occurs in the event of anomalies in the development of the fetus that are incompatible with life.

Now it is very important to understand that any violations in the process of laying internal organs and systems of the baby can lead to almost irreversible consequences: congenital and chronic diseases and abnormalities.

If you feel unpleasant pain in the lower abdomen, bloody or pungent discharge from the vagina appears, then immediately run to the doctor. A qualified specialist is able to provide timely assistance and even save the life of you and your baby.

Changes in a woman's body at 7 weeks pregnant

The restructuring of the female body 7 obstetric week of pregnancy goes intense. The woman is already fully aware of her new state, in which she will have to stay for a long 9 months.

At this time, the cervix, as it were, is clogged with the so-called cork- a lump of mucus that will protect the uterus itself from getting any infections from the outside. This cork will come out on its own just before the birth. It is not recommended at this time to examine a gynecologist in an armchair, so as not to damage this neoplasm.

Note that now a pregnant woman has a sharp decrease in the number calcium in organism. This is a consequence of the fact that the skeletal system is rapidly developing in the fetus. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to foods and preparations with a high content of calcium. Often because of this, pregnant women feel cramps in the calves of the legs. Since the future baby makes up for the lack of this trace element from the venous vessels, this affects the mother's venous system. If you do not replenish the desired level of calcium, then the walls of the vessels become thinner. And it's already guaranteed. phlebeurysm. Moreover, it is very difficult to recover from varicose veins in the future - after childbirth, it does not go away on its own, but can only get worse. Protrusion of veins, spider veins will greatly affect the attractiveness of a woman in the future.

Very often, pregnant women may experience severe pain in the limbs and manifestations of swelling, especially on the legs.

Frequent cases of exacerbation of hemorrhoids. At this stage of pregnancy, the hormone progesterone, entering the body of a woman, provokes the occurrence of disturbances in the work of the intestines - constipation and swelling. Many pregnant women suffer from severe heartburn. Appetite may be absent, however, as well as vice versa - if toxicosis does not appear, then the appetite can be simply brutal. You should not get involved in overeating all sorts of goodies, because excess weight during pregnancy is undesirable. However, as well as weight loss, for example, due to constant nausea and vomiting.

Due to hormonal changes in the body, the condition of the skin and hair can change significantly (which most often happens). Moreover, some women have an unpleasant acne and increased oiliness of the skin and hair, nails break badly. And for others, the appearance is strikingly changing for the better. However, your normal state will return to you after childbirth after a while.

Why do almost all pregnant women react so strongly to smells? The reason is that in this way the body protects itself and the unborn baby from the use of spoiled or dangerous foods and substances.

If you study photo of tummies at 7 weeks pregnant, then most of the time nothing is noticeable. The uterus with the embryo inside is not that big yet.

Analyzes and medical examinations

seventh week of pregnancy- It is a good time to register with the antenatal clinic and start seeing a gynecologist. An enlarged uterus is a real indicator of pregnancy. Already now, the expectant mother will be sent for a mandatory set of tests. Also at this time, an exchange card is started - like a pregnant woman's passport, in which the results of tests and examinations will be entered throughout the entire period of bearing a child.

On seventh week of pregnancy in the antenatal clinic, it is necessary to undergo an examination not only by a gynecologist, but also by other specialists: a dentist, a general practitioner, an ophthalmologist. In the presence of any chronic diseases, an examination of narrow medical specialists is needed.

Mom will now be weighed, height, blood pressure and pelvic size will be measured, a vaginal swab will be taken to determine the microflora, urine and feces tests, a blood test for biochemistry, HIV, syphilis and hepatitis. Additional studies of progesterone levels and hCG(with the threat of miscarriage). And the level hCG can clearly indicate to the doctor if there are any abnormalities in the development of the embryo at this stage.

At the same time appointed ultrasound examination.

Ultrasound at 7 weeks pregnant

Ultrasonography effective now, since visual (biomanual) examination cannot give accurate information about the size and position of the fetus in the uterus. With help ultrasound the gestational age (obstetric) is more accurately determined.

A specialist on an ultrasound machine looks at where the fetal egg is located, whether there is an ectopic pregnancy, sees a multiple pregnancy.

The main thing now for a pregnant woman is healthy lifestyle life, nutrition and good mood. No hassle and stress, because the future baby is already able to experience emotions and respond to the state of his mother.

On 7 weeks pregnant you need to increase the calorie content of your food - no less than 300 kcal. More in the diet of dairy products, vegetables, fruits (unsweetened), lean meat and fish.

If you are not sure that you are consuming enough calcium, vitamin D, iodine, then it is optimal to replenish this supply with medications. But only after consulting a doctor. folic acid pregnant women need to drink before the start of the second trimester of pregnancy.

It is now important for expectant mothers not to catch an infection, not to catch a cold. After all, most drugs are not recommended when carrying a child, and during subsequent lactation. Remember, no self-treatment!

Now the future baby is already moving, bending his elbows and knees. But these movements are still so weak that the expectant mother cannot yet feel them.
