The eighth week of pregnancy
March 15th, 2008
During pregnancy week eight, baby starts to form feet, hands and fingers, ears and nose and the eyes too. Mom is wondering what is happening to her stomach as indigestion has been a problem this week. This is one of the common early pregnancy symptoms and is simply your body slowing down its metabolism to get maximum absorption of nutrients from food. In this way, there is more nutrition to pass along to the baby. If you take your prenatal vitamins it will go a long way towards fulfilling the body’s need for nutrients and can help make your digestion a little easier too. Eat some soda crackers and maybe half a bran muffin to help your tummy. You may feel some bloating now too. That is normal so don’t worry about it. You are doing great mom!
