I am on week 11 now. The morning sickness is not getting any better. I have almost decided on no more kids. At least not without adoption. I know that I will probably change my mind and that it is just because I don't feel good right now. But I am pretty miserable.
I am getting close to the end of the first trimester. Most of the baby's critical development will be over in the next couple of weeks, and the odds of miscarriage will soon drop considerably. My baby has all his/her parts, from tooth buds to toenails, and is busy kicking and stretching, and it moves around. The fingers and toes have separated. Now it will spend the rest of the pregnancy growing larger and stronger until it can survive on its own outside the womb. A dark vertical line of pigmentation, called the linea nigra, is supposed to form on my stomach. This is because my uterus has risen.
