When you are 7 weeks pregnant, your chickpea-sized child’s hair, hair follicles, eyelids, nipples and reproductive organs will develop. They will be able to produce a little urine, this week, for the first time. Your uterus will double in size, and the placenta will also grow at a fast pace to increase your trips to the bathroom. Morning sickness, fatigue, food aversions, food cravings, the extra saliva, heightened sense of smell will be normal now.
