Your baby
Your baby is moving their arms and legs with increasing coordination. Thumb-sucking can help develop the sucking reflex used for feeding after birth. You may not feel these movements yet. The peach comparison is an approximate guide to length, not a target that your own baby has to match exactly this week.
Your body
As the uterus grows, your waistline and the way clothes fit may change. Some people feel more energetic, while nausea or fatigue continues for others. Activity does not need to look the same as it did before pregnancy. Pay attention to comfort and discuss new pain, dizziness or other symptoms rather than pushing through them to finish a workout.
This week
Staying active comfortably
Talk with your care team about the activities you already enjoy and any work that involves lifting, long periods on your feet or other physical demands. Ask whether your health or pregnancy calls for specific modifications. If activity is appropriate for you, a comfortable routine you can maintain is more useful than trying to compete with someone else's pregnancy. Consider small practical changes such as taking breaks, wearing comfortable shoes and choosing times when you feel well. Ask what symptoms should make you stop and seek advice.
