Bump Diary

Pregnancy week by week › Week 4

Week 4 of your pregnancy

Your baby is about the size of a poppy seed

The embryo is about 2 mm long, snug in the amniotic sac while a yolk sac feeds it.

You this week

No bump yet. Early signs can include a missed period, sore breasts, nausea, tiredness, needing to wee more and a metallic taste.

Tips for this week

  • Book your first appointment with a midwife
  • Take 400mcg of folic acid every day until week 12
  • Aim for 150 minutes of gentle activity a week

Follow week 4 together

Bump Diary shows this every day, with a photo of your bump, shared with your partner. Free on iPhone.
