Your baby is about the size of a sweet pea, roughly 4-5mm in length. Though tiny, your baby is growing rapidly, and the foundations for all of its major organs are being laid down this week.
Signs of a healthy pregnancy include a positive test, rising hCG levels, and symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience heavy bleeding or severe cramping.
Your doctor will confirm your pregnancy, review your medical history, and provide guidance on healthy diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.
Fatigue is common in Week 6, so it’s important to rest when you can. Take naps or sleep longer at night to help your body recharge as it works hard to support your baby."
