The heart is pumping

me

I went to see my gynae yesterday. . & I saw my lil baby's heart beating.. (My son & hubby saw it too!!) Based on the measurement & due date calculation, the baby's growth is okay (normal). (I will post the scan photo later..)

beside the scan, she gave me all these.. to be taken daily..

For me & baby
* Duphaston :
so I'll have healthy uterine lining & to avoid miscarriage.

* Folic Acid:
You need extra folic acid during pregnancy, especially in the first 12 weeks while your baby’s body is being formed. Not enough folic acid at this time may, in some women, cause a problem with the developing brain and spinal cord in her baby. This is what is meant by a neural tube defect or NTD.

* B Complex:
Help! couldnt find anything on this!!

For me(due to serious choughing & flu)
* T. Bisolvan:
Bisolvan is a mucolytic (?!) and effective in the treatment of chesty coughs

* T. Piriton:
Can't find any relevant info on this. But I've been taking it for flu..all this while (& it's safe to be taken during pregnancy)

* Rhinathiol (cough syrup):
Cough syrup - safe to be taken during pregnancy..

Weekly fetal development; at 7th week:

How your baby's growing: Your baby still appears to have a small tail (actually, it's an extension of his tailbone), which will disappear in the next few weeks. But that's the only thing getting smaller. Now almost half an inch long — roughly the size of a raspberry — he has elbow joints and distinct, slightly webbed fingers and toes. In his oversized head, both hemispheres of his brain are developing. His teeth and the inside of his mouth are forming, and his ears continue to develop. Eyelid folds partially cover his tiny peepers, which already have some color, and the tip of that nose you'll be tweaking someday is emerging. His skin is paper-thin and his veins are clearly visible.Your little one also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. His liver is busy producing red blood cells, and a loop of your baby's growing intestines is bulging into his umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from his tiny body. You can't feel his gyrations yet, but your baby is like a little jumping bean, moving in fits and starts around his watery home.

Your baby is really beginning to develop more physical definition this week – their oversized head isn’t just large and oblong anymore, it’s actually a little bit pointy. The tiny receding tail bud is now starting to be overshadowed by the growth of their legs, which are now complete with knees and the beginnings of toes. Their eyes and ears are the most visible features on the head and miniature bones are starting to harden throughout their body. You also have some variation on a boy or a girl at this point although their genitals won’t be visible enough to determine which color cigars you’re going to buy until around the 16th week.
