At week 7, you're still not showing yet. Most first-time pregnancies don't show until around week 12. If you've had previous pregnancies, you may show earlier as a result of stretching of the muscles in your uterus and belly.

No Fetal Heartbeat After Seven Weeks Gestation
If you are past seven weeks pregnant, seeing no heartbeat may be a sign of miscarriage. 1 By this point a transvaginal ultrasound should be able to reliable detect a heartbeat or lack thereof. But there are many exceptions to the "heartbeat by seven weeks" rule.
A fetal heartbeat may first be detected by a vaginal ultrasound as early as 5 1/2 to 6 weeks after gestation. That's when a fetal pole, the first visible sign of a developing embryo, can sometimes be seen. But between 6 1/2 to 7 weeks after gestation, a heartbeat can be better assessed.
Aside from detecting a heartbeat, the point of a 7-week ultrasound is to take measurements of these fetal developments so your doctor has a better idea of where you are in your pregnancy. That's why this is often called a dating ultrasound: The measurements are a good indicator of gestational age.
Don't expect to see too much of a belly bump at two months pregnant. At this stage, your body probably won't look dramatically different. (Read more about when you might start showing.) What you might notice, though, is that in addition to some sensitivity and soreness, your breasts may look fuller.
It usually starts at about 6 weeks of pregnancy and is at its worst at about 9 weeks. Most women feel better in their second trimester, but some have morning sickness throughout pregnancy. If you have morning sickness, tell your health care provider. Mild morning sickness doesn't harm you or your baby.
The risk of miscarriage drops significantly as pregnancy progresses. In one study, researchers found a miscarriage rate of 9.4 percent at 6 weeks of pregnancy, 4.2 percent at 7 weeks, 1.5 percent at 8 weeks, 0.5 percent at 9 weeks and 0.7 percent at 10 weeks.
The baby is lying inside an amniotic sac, a bag formed of membranes filled with fluid. A placenta is starting to form and attaching to the inside of your womb (uterus) so that it can deliver nutrients and oxygen from your blood stream to your baby. The baby's heart is now beating at 150-180 beats per minute.
Your stomach muscles are continuing to relax and your uterus is expanding. By week seven it's said to be about the size of a lemon and will continue to grow to cater to your growing baby. There's also a lot more blood pumping around your body.
Water, milk, and herbal teas are all some of the best drinks to keep you and your baby safe during pregnancy. Part of your plan to stay hydrated can include drinks just for fun, too, as long as you're staying away from those listed no-nos.
Rest easy: It's safe for you to eat kiwi in pregnancy. In fact, it's good for you! The only exception would be if you have a kiwi allergy. This may be more likely if you're allergic to latex.
Pregnancy symptoms at week 7
You won't have a bump for a while yet, but at week 7 your womb (uterus) is already expanding to accommodate your growing baby. As this happens, the tissues supporting your womb (ligaments) will stretch and you may feel mild cramps or twinges in your tummy.
Fortunately, this is normal. It's a signal from your body to slow down and give it time to adjust to the incredible changes happening inside. Hormone changes play a big role in making you feel tired, especially the hormone progesterone. This hormone rises sharply in the first trimester.
At eight weeks pregnant, your baby will measure about ½ inch from the top of its head to its little tail. At an 8 week scan, it's possible to see the embryo's development, especially their big head and small body. Your little one will also start to make involuntary movements, like a slight flicker or a jump.
Some women have no external symptoms of pregnancy loss. When the loss occurs early on, a woman may have few signs of pregnancy, which can make identifying the loss more difficult.
The first scan in your pregnancy is commonly known as the dating scan, and is usually done in the first trimester at around 7 weeks. A Sonographer will perform the ultrasound.
