PREGNANCY GUIDE

10 Weeks Pregnant

Your baby assumes a much more human shape at the 10th week of pregnancy, as the lower body rapidly develops. Blood and bone cells form, and the baby moves around now.
Small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles, the arms now have elbows for bending.
Your baby’s teeth are now forming under the gums. Some babies have been known to be born with some teeth, but most babies don’t get their first teeth through until around the age of 6 months.
Your babies stomach is now producing digestive juices, and the kidneys are producing urine.

Now that your baby is beginning to move, you may be feeling some unusual sensations in your stomach. Some women say that it feels like something is blowing bubbles through a straw in their stomach!
