Week to Week Pregnancy Guide
Every week I couldn’t wait to get my pregnancy books out and find out what stage my baby is up to: I thought I would post it on minti for new mothers and mothers who haven’t seen these so they can get
excited just as I did.
I will go from week 6 – 10 then I will go fortnightly makes it more exciting.
Week 6……Exciting, Mummy this is where I develop, I develop my vital organs. My heart begins to beat and pumps blood around my body for survival. And I have these little growths on my body they appear to be my legs and arms.
Week 7……I am still very small the size of a grain of rice yes that small. Last week my arms and legs were developing well they still are but very slowly I have no fingers or toes yet but I am getting there.

My Arrival
GOD made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks, fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
LOVE YOU MUMMY
