For an even more complete and conscious journey towards birth, I recommend you join the Academy to access all the best video courses to support your health during pregnancy (multidisciplinary antenatal course, pelvic floor, breastfeeding, nutrition, pilates, etc.) and the development of your baby (motor development, language, cognitive, self-weaning, pediatric disobstruction, etc.).

Also, on my Instagram profile @drsilva.com_official and on my Youtube channel you will find lots of content designed for you and your little one.

The eighth week of pregnancy is between the second, which goes from 4+4 to 8+5, and the third month, which goes from 8+6 to 13+1.

Among the main changes that affect a woman's body during the eighth week of pregnancy is the growth of the uterus.

You may not realize it, but its size, normally similar to that of a fist, has already increased: in this period, we can compare it to a grapefruit.

Your breasts are also changing : the veins are more visible and the volume increases, as does the sensitivity of the nipples.

This symptomatic picture often accompanies from the eighth week of pregnancy - sometimes even from the earlier weeks - throughout the first trimester.

Due to progesterone levels, you may feel very tired.

Among the symptoms of the eighth week of pregnancy , for some women, nausea also appears, which in turn is caused by factors on which science has not yet reached a definitive conclusion.

Among the factors that contribute to its onset, it is possible to call into question familiarity, but also high levels of beta hCG.

During the eighth week of pregnancy, it is normal to deal with lower abdominal pain .

This symptom is often associated with the need to urinate more frequently.

As long as there is no bright red discharge, there is no reason to fear.

In fact, it is a sign that the uterus is increasing in length and that the structure of the internal organs is starting to change drastically.
