YOUR PREGNANCY - WEEK 10

Your baby's development.

This week your baby is between 31 and 42mm (1.25 - 1.68 inches) in length and weighs approximately 5 grams (0.18 ounces).
All organs are now present and most major structures have been formed. As your baby becomes fully formed, its weight gain will rapidly increase and its structures will continue to grow and develop to maturity. The head is still large compared to the rest of the body, but the body begins to lengthen and straighten.
Although your baby can now respond to touch, you won't yet be able to feel it move. Nutrients pass from your body into the placenta and umbilical cord to feed your baby and support his/her rapid growth.
Your Pregnancy.

During pregnancy, hormonal changes may cause fluctuations in your moods. You may find yourself feeling more emotional, moody and teary. These fluctuations are normal, and will probably diminish later in your pregnancy.
