Pregnancy at 6 Weeks: Weekly Calendar

This week, your baby's heart begins to beat! The digestive and respiratory systems are forming, as are small buds that will grow into arms and legs.

Around week 8 of pregnancy, symptoms such as a missed period, nausea, extreme fatigue, or tight clothes may make your pregnancy feel more real.
