You are 10 weeks pregnant, which means 8 weeks have passed since conception. Your baby is growing and you experience morning sickness, mood swings and unexpected breast enlargement. This is what it should be like. What is the size of the abdomen and what does the baby look like at 10 weeks of pregnancy? What should you pay attention to?
10 weeks pregnant: how is your baby developing?
The baby is about 30-40 mm in the 10th week of pregnancy - this is the same as a small Hungarian plum. It is worth remembering that the follicle in which the fetus is located - because it is no longer an embryo - is larger.
Apart from the follicle itself, the baby's safety is now also guaranteed by the fetal membranes. The placenta does not yet provide the baby with food and oxygen - for now, this role is played by the thickened chorion, i.e. the structure of the blood vessels that connect the fetus to the uterus.
It is the chorion that produces the hCG hormone and nourishes the fetus. This will be the case until 12-16. week of pregnancy, when the placenta will develop from the chorion.
- the brain grows dynamically, therefore the child's head is disproportionately large compared to the rest of the body, not only the child's brain works, but also its nervous system
- 20 teeth seeds are formed in the baby's mouth, but they will not grow until a dozen or so months
- because the joints are already shaped, therefore the hands and legs of the child move, bend at the elbow, wrists and knees
- kidneys move and take their proper place
- lungs develop slowly, but for their final maturity you have to wait almost until the end of pregnancy
- a diaphragm is created that will allow the child to breathe ordinary air in the future

10 weeks pregnant: what's happening to you?
The baby weighs about 10g now, so it has no effect on the result you see when standing on the bathroom scale in the morning. And this result can be the same as before pregnancy, lower (especially if you vomit a lot) or slightly higher.
This is because your pregnancy weight is made up of not only the weight of the fetus, but also blood (its volume increases), plus amniotic fluid, enlarged uterus and breasts, and the placenta.
- Normal pregnancy weight
They are not heavy weights yet, but still in the first trimesteryou may gain some weight. Remember that if you were obese before pregnancy, you cannot gain too much weight (maximum 2 kg).
Slim women may gain even 3 kg in the first trimester.
Follow these recommendations, because weight in pregnancy is of great importance for your and your baby's he alth - it is conducive to many diseases of women during pregnancy and predisposes the child to diseases in the future.
Studies also show that obese women give birth more slowly and harder, and it is also harder for them to recover after giving birth.
