Every 4th week includes a picture of what baby looks like

Pregnancy week 6

Even though you may or may not feel symptoms of pregnancy yet the baby is busy growing. Baby is about a quarter of an inch long now and resembles a tadpole. Major organs, including the kidneys and heart, have begun to develop, and the neural tube, which connects the brain and spinal cord, closes.

Things to think about

• If you have a job you may want to start planning for your maternity leave

• Depending on how long you have been with your employer you may choose to tell them now but keep in mind although employers are supposed to be accepting of pregnancy these days that's not always the case in reality. If your near the end of a probationary period you may want to wait a little while.

• Keep getting lots of vitamin C , orange juice, red bell peppers, cantaloupe, and strawberries are all great sources.
