6 Weeks Pregnancy: What You Should Know
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Your baby has officially graduated this week from embryo to fetus, and with that change are a whole bunch of others happening in her development.

 

 

 

How Big Is Your Baby at 10 Weeks?

Your little one is still growing very quickly! At ten weeks, the average fetus is about the size of a strawberry, measuring approximately an inch from crown to rump.

Your uterus is about the size of a large orange at this point, whereas before you became pregnant it was about the size of a small pear.

What To Expect

 

Baby’s Bones Form

Your baby’s growth is fast and furious when you are 10 weeks pregnant. She’s nearly an inch-and-a-half long and the size of a prune, but not nearly as shriveled (even with all the time spent in water). In fact, your baby is really taking a human shape now. Bones and cartilage are forming and small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles. The arms, complete with elbows, can flex already.

 

Mom’s Body at 10 Weeks

Your uterus is about the size of a large orange at this point, whereas before you became pregnant it was about the size of a small pear.

Rounder Tummy:

If you haven’t already looked in the mirror lately and examined your newly pregnant body, take a deep breath, take off your clothes. First thing you’re likely to notice at 10 weeks pregnant is a slight roundness in your lower abdomen which will probably be more noticeable if you’re slight to begin with and less so if you’re not.

Visible Veins:

Second thing you might notice are all those blue lines that have suddenly appeared on your skin, crisscrossing your breasts and abdomen.

During pregnancy, the average woman’s blood volume increases by a little under 50 percent and the veins have to keep up so they can go with the flow. So consider those blue lines on your body to be a pregnancy badge of honor: Wear them with pride.

10 Weeks Pregnant: Your Symptoms

Morning sickness:

You’re not alone if you’re 10 weeks pregnant and you’re still suffering from morning sickness. The good news? You’re likely to start feeling better soon. Morning sickness often goes away after you enter the second trimester.

Fatigue:

You probably still feel as if your get-up-and-go has gotten up and gone, but don’t worry — in about a month you’ll be feeling less tired. In the meantime, don’t be super mom-to-be. Ask for help, get some rest and work in some exercise when you can. Yes, it seems counter intuitive to go out for a walk when you want to crawl into bed, but you’ll feel peppier (promise!) — And you’ll sleep better.

Minimal weight gain:
Even though your clothes may be fitting a bit tighter, you may not have gained much weight, and you may even have lost a little if you’ve been dealing with morning sickness.

Faintness Or Dizziness:

Your body is still getting used to all that blood pumping through it, so it’s no wonder you feel dizzy occasionally. Be sure to sit or lie down as soon as you feel light-headed (so you don’t fall). To decrease dizzy spells, carry healthy snacks around for a quick blood-sugar boost and stay hydrated.
