Still early weeks
This week your baby is about the size of a raspberry.
Having more or fewer symptoms can both be common at this stage.
A metallic taste and sudden shifts in what you can stand to eat are common around eight weeks, and they often travel with the nausea and heightened smell of these weeks. Foods you usually love can become off-putting while others become oddly appealing. This tends to settle as early pregnancy symptoms ease later on.
Sharp changes in mood are a common part of early pregnancy, and this can be an emotionally up-and-down time. Some people notice more anxiety, tearfulness, or low mood alongside the physical changes. Some find that talking it through with someone they trust helps.
Resting when you can is looking after both of you.
Over the coming weeks you move steadily toward the end of the first trimester.
