A Lily-of-the-valley bell (~1 cm) is small but architectural, like a tiny shelter taking shape one curve at a time.

How big is the baby at 7 weeks?
About 1 cm (0.4 in), measured crown to rump — the size of a lily-of-the-valley bell.1
The embryo measures around 10 mm from head to bottom. The brain is growing quickly; eyelids are beginning to cover the eyes, and cartilage is forming within the lengthening limb buds.
7 weeks pregnant is how many months?
Week 7 falls in the second month of pregnancy. Weeks and months don’t divide evenly, and your antenatal care counts in weeks — so Zohra keeps weeks, and prints the month for the relatives who ask.
That puts you in the first trimester (weeks 1–13).
What might you be noticing?
Nausea, tiredness, and mood changes can make this week feel demanding. Smell sensitivity and bloating may also be present.1
Leave a little more room between obligations where you can. Choose one person, place, or ritual that helps the day feel less crowded.
For the record: What kind of shelter—literal or emotional—felt good this week? — this week’s page in the app asks the same thing. All forty prompts are here.
