More information about 10 Weeks Pregnant
At 10 weeks pregnant the baby is already very active inside the womb, but moms still can’t feel the movements because the baby is only 3.1 cm! It’s still very small, but is no longer considered an embryo and the most dangerous part of pregnancy is now finishing up. Now, the head begins to become more proportional to the body, different from last week1.
Baby’s Development
At 10 weeks, your baby is visibly growing and, to mom’s pride, spends most of the time getting up to mischief like stretching hands and legs and swallowing amniotic fluid. The spine is already visible and, on ultrasound, you can see its outline as well as the spinal cord, which is forming. The kidneys are already working at full steam and all amniotic fluid swallowed by your baby is filtered by them, as a kind of training for when the baby comes into the world2.
At this development stage at 10 weeks, the main organs are already formed and this is also when fingernails and tiny strands of hair start to appear. The genitals are in the process of forming and soon it will be possible to tell on an ultrasound. This week, your future little one is the size of a small olive.
How Mom Is Feeling…
Excess sleep and annoying nausea are part of this stage, but their days are numbered. So try to stay calm and get as much rest as possible during these 10 weeks of pregnancy. Your belly is beginning to round and your waist is getting wider, which will become more and more noticeable.
Mom’s Discomforts
At 10 weeks, a new discomfort may arise: a buildup of saliva in your mouth3. So, a constant sensation of a mouth full of saliva can occur, due to high acidity or even frequent vomiting during this period. But this symptom will be temporary and will go away as suddenly as it appeared. Back pain is also common now and is part of the process of stretching the uterine ligaments, as well as the body’s changes to accommodate baby’s growth and development at these 9 weeks of pregnancy.
External Factors…
Each passing day, the pregnancy becomes more obvious, and the feeling of growing a baby inside you is unique, magical, and indescribable. The curiosity to know the sex is almost always overwhelming, and you may spend hours imagining your little one’s face wearing the clothes you saw in the shop window and fell in love with or already making plans for the future. Now is the time to dream, to enjoy, and to make the most of every second, because pregnancy passes very quickly.
