9 weeks pregnant

Two months into pregnancy the embryo is about 2.5cm (around 1 in) long

Your body  

You probably won't look any different to other people, but your waist is thickening so clothes may begin to feel tight.

Turn down the heat

Feeling hot these days? That's because all your organs are working harder during your pregnancy to support both you and your growing baby. In particular, your heart is pumping increased blood volume around your circulation. This increased circulation makes you feel much warmer and you'll feel uncomfortable in a warm room or in hot weather. Drink plenty of water and wear layers of clothes that you can peel off when you get too hot.

Relax - don't do it!

You're bound to be feeling very tired during these weeks. Don't feel you have to rush about as normal. Accept that you're pregnant and that until you get into your second trimester you're going to have less energy. Try to relax and leave the normal chores till later or pass them on to somebody else!
