Your Baby is about the size of a grape!
This week the cartilage and bones begin to take form. The basic structure of the eyes are well underway and the tongue begins to develop.

You have now missed your second menstrual cycle, your breasts may feel fuller and be quite sensitive. Use a support bra to reduce the pain that this may cause.

- breasts fuller, tender and sensitive

- mood swings
- increased hunger
