Sixth Week Of Pregnancy
Baby’s Development Watch Videos
During sixth week of pregnancy, you will start noticing the changes in your body. The changes occur due to your pregnancy hormones. Your uterus is growing now but people still can’t see that you are pregnant. The uterus may press on your bladder and send you rushing to bathroom, frequently. Frequent urination may also occur due to increased blood flow to your kidneys.
Other than frequent urination, there are several other symptoms which you may feel during this week. Although, pregnancy is an exciting time, but managing your symptoms during pregnancy can prove challenging.
