The pregnancy symptoms will likely be continuing throughout this week. You may experience abdominal cramps and spotting of blood as the embryo continues to implant itself firmly to your uterus. Some women mistake this spotting for their periods. |
|
|
| • |
Your cervix will develop a mucous plug at the opening which seals off the uterus for protection. This will be discarded just before labor. |
|
|
| • |
Try to avoid foods like soft cheese, unpasteurized milk, raw/undercooked meats (including hot dogs), raw eggs, raw shellfish, and pate. These foods are associated with certain dangers to the baby. |
