Now at the size of a blueberry, your little one is 10,000 times bigger than it was at conception! Most of that growth is centered in the head as new brain cells are created at a rate of 100 per minute...see you knew your child was a genius! Also this week your child's mouth and tongue are forming, along with the sprouting of leg and arm buds. Also, by this point the kidneys are getting ready to produce and excrete pee!
So much to your partner's joy... and your horror, your breasts have probably grown at a freakishly alarming rate. Some expectant mommy's have already grown a full cup size by week 7 (I'm one of the 'lucky" ones that have this happen). Now this might be the best news ever, if your boobs weren't so tender. Most likely you can barely stand the fabric of your bra, let along your over excited partner! The reason for this big boob bonanza are those wonderful pregnancy hormones who are creating an increase in blood flow and a build up of fat, all of which are helping your lovely jubilees to get ready for breast feeding.
