Here is what you should expect this week at 10 weeks pregnant.<\/p><h3>What changes are occurring with your body during the 10th week of pregnancy?<\/h3><p>Your uterus has continued to grow, but you are probably still not\u00a0showing much at this time. Some women may be ready to share the news, while others may still be adjusting to the\u00a0idea of being pregnant. It is important to be open about your feelings\u00a0with both your partner and your health care provider.<\/p><h3>What is happening with your baby\u00a0during the 10th week of pregnancy?<\/h3><p>This is the end of the embryonic period and the beginning of the fetal period when your baby&#8217;s organs continue to grow and mature. The majority of your baby&#8217;s vital organs (including the kidneys, liver, brain, and lungs) are functioning but will continue to mature throughout the remainder of your pregnancy. Your baby&#8217;s head comprises half the length of the body, and there is a bulge in the forehead allowing for brain development. Fingernails, toenails, and hair will begin to become visible this week. The fingers are no longer webbed. The baby is actively swallowing amniotic fluid and kicking his\/her legs.<\/p><h3>How big is your baby at 10 weeks pregnant?<\/h3><p>Your baby is a little over <strong>2 inches (5.08 centimeters) long<\/strong>, about the size of a lime,\u00a0and <strong>weighs about a quarter of an ounce (7 grams)<\/strong>.<\/p><h3>What should you plan for this week?<\/h3><p>Your second prenatal visit will occur between weeks 12 and 16. During this visit, your healthcare provider may perform an <a title=\"Ultrasound: Sonogram\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/prenatal-testing\/ultrasound\/\">ultrasound<\/a> allowing you to see your baby for the first time. Some women elect to obtain\u00a0a commemorative sonogram photo. Before doing this, check the <a title=\"Keepsake Ultrasounds or Sonograms\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/keepsake-ultrasound\/\">commercial\u00a0sonogram safety checklist,<\/a> and discuss this with your health care provider.\u00a0Your doctor may use a Doppler stethoscope to detect your baby&#8217;s heartbeat. Your doctor may also discuss &#8220;quickening&#8221; with you. Quickening is\u00a0the <a title=\"First Fetal Movement : Quickening\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/while-pregnant\/first-fetal-movement\/\">first\u00a0fetal movement<\/a> felt by the mother. This is often described as &#8220;flutters&#8221;\u00a0and might be <strong>felt as early as 13-16 weeks<\/strong>.<\/p><h3>Tips for making your pregnancy better<\/h3><p>Even though you are pregnant, there are a wide variety of activities\u00a0that you can participate in to stay in shape. Whether you were active\u00a0before pregnancy or not, consult with your health care\u00a0provider regarding what kinds of activities are best suited for you. Many\u00a0healthcare providers recommend walking and swimming because they are\u00a0<a title=\"Pregnancy Exercise Guidelines\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/exercise-guidelines\/\">low impact exercises<\/a> that can be used throughout the entire pregnancy.<\/p><h3>Tips for mom\u2019s partner<\/h3><p>Mom will be <a title=\"Exercise During Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/exercise-during-pregnancy\/\">encouraged to exercise<\/a> on a regular basis.
