MONTH 1

Your Baby

• Tiny limb buds appear. These grow into your baby's arms and legs.
• Your baby's heart and lungs begin to form. By the 22nd day, the heart starts to beat.
• Your baby's neural tube begins to form. This becomes the brain and spinal cord.
• By the end of the first month, your baby is about 1/4 inch long.

Your Body

• Your body is making lots of hormones that help your baby to grow. Hormones can make you feel moody or cranky.
• Your breasts may get bigger. They may hurt and tingle.
• You may feel sick to your stomach. This is called morning sickness, even though it can happen any time of day. Try eating crackers and smaller meals.
• You may crave some foods or hate foods you usually like.
• You may feel tired. Rest when you can.
