Week 7
Your Baby is the Size of a Grapes
New brain cells form rapidly
At 7 weeks pregnant, most of that growth is concentrated in the head (the better to store all those smarts) as new brain cells are generated at the rate of 100 per minute. How's that for a budding genius?
Baby's arms and legs start developing
And talking about buds, your baby is going out on a limb this week. Her arm and leg buds begin to sprout and grow longer and stronger, dividing into hand, arm, and shoulder segments and leg, knee, and foot segments — though the limb buds look more like paddles than hands or feet at this early stage.
Baby's got kidneys
Also forming this week are your baby's mouth and tongue. The kidneys are in place now too, and are poised to begin their important work of waste management. Soon, your baby will start producing urine. Lucky for you, there's no need for diapers yet.
The Mutlu Anne app is with you every step of the way on your pregnancy journey.

This Week's Highlights
Baby's lifeline
Umbilical cord, welcome to the womb! This tube joins baby and placenta, delivering oxygen and nutrients and even eliminating waste into your bloodstream.
The mucus plug develops
Your mucus plug debuts at the week’s close, settling into the opening of your cervix. This natural cork seals and protects your womb from bacteria.
Webbed hands and feet
Your baby-to-be has developed web-like hand and feet stubs. Soon enough, hands will grow and change to have fingers and toes, but right now, they look like little paddles.
