Pregnancy Week by Week/Week 8: Webbed Fingers and Toes
Week 8: Webbed Fingers and Toes
At 8 weeks, your baby is starting to move, although you can't feel it yet. All essential organs begin to form during this critical stage. Webbed fingers and toes are developing, and eyelids and ears are taking shape, marking important milestones in your baby's growth. Your baby is now about the size of a kidney bean.
Your Body During Week 8
You may notice your waistline beginning to thicken as your body adjusts to pregnancy. Your breasts continue to grow and may feel tender. Morning sickness often peaks around this time, and fatigue can become significant as your body works hard to support your growing baby.
Hati Health Tips for Week 8
This is typically when many expectant mothers have their first prenatal visit. It's important to discuss any medications you are taking with your healthcare provider. If approved by your doctor, you can begin prenatal exercises to help maintain your health and prepare your body for the months ahead. Additionally, consider using pregnancy support bands if you experience discomfort.

Ultrasound (Transvaginal)
Transvaginal examination is an advanced imaging procedure that assesses the female reproductive organs with precision, providing detailed images of the vagina, cervix, uterus, and ovaries. This test is typically performed using a probe inserted into the vagina, allowing for accurate evaluation of conditions such as ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease, making it essential for early detection and effective management of gynecological issues.
It is recommended at 6-14 weeks during early pregnancy, as well as early in the menstrual cycle and during the cycle for infertility evaluations. The ultrasound should also be conducted as needed for gynecological concerns like abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, endometriosis, or postmenopausal bleeding. Additionally, it can be part of an annual exam for those with a history of gynecological issues, and is useful for monitoring PCOS and assessing known ovarian cysts or tumors. Regular monitoring is advised for evaluating infection and inflammation in suspected pelvic inflammatory disease. For personalized scheduling, consult your healthcare provider.
