General information, not medical advice. Every pregnancy is different — bring questions to your OB or midwife.

Your baby at 8 weeks

Fingers and toes are forming and are still slightly webbed, and the embryo's tail is nearly gone. All essential organs have begun to develop, and tiny movements start, though you can't feel them yet.

How you might feel

Bloating, nausea, and breast tenderness are common, and your uterus is expanding.

This week's tip: Ginger tea, ginger candies, or vitamin B6 (with provider approval) may take the edge off nausea.
