Born & Birth stories

At this point of your pregnancy, the crown-to-rump length of your developing baby is 1.25 to 1.68 inches. It is now easier to tell how much the baby weighs since he is beginning to put on some weight. Your baby weighs approximately 5 grams and is the size of a small plum! The baby has grown an incredible amount during these past few weeks, but you still aren't showing too much yet.


Fetus in pregnancy week 10	Click for a bigger movie of this busy boy

This week is somewhat of a landmark for your developing baby. By now, your baby's complete body plan is laid down. Your baby will continue to develop and grow for the remainder of the pregnancy. The fingers and toes have separated and the tail has disappeared now. Your baby has taste and tooth buds at this point, which will continue to develop. The brain will continue to grow at an amazing rate and nearly a quarter of a million new neurons are produced every minute! The embryonic heart is completely developed. External genitalia are not apparent until next week, but a male's testes will already be producing testosterone.

Because you have high hormone levels at this time, you may notice an abundance of emotional and physical effects. Most pregnant women find themselves getting distressed easily and have frequent mood swings. Common physical changes include the beginning of real weight gain, potential softening of the gums and slightly swollen thyroid glands. Common emotional changes include feelings of unattractiveness, feelings of inadequacy and concerns about what the future holds. Some women are not excited about their pregnancy at first and question the condition. It is not uncommon to get upset easily, cry at the slightest things, feel moody or drift on daydreams.

You may have gained a little weight already. Average weight gain during pregnancy is about 28lbs(13kgs), but most of that is gained in the second and third trimester.

Oops... I mean WE can do this......

I went to Motherhood and got some real maternity jeans... They are the ones with the lycra top that goes all the way up but you just fold it down until you are big. The way I figure it, I'll buy them down the road anyway and you absolutely cannot tell they are maternity jeans! Heck I am just wondering why EVERYONE doesn't wear these things lol. They are SO comfortable! Why bother with belly bands and the miserable feeling of the open fly?

ladykbee - 2.8 hours ago
Hi all just read some comments on the belly bands, you can get them really cheap from ebay. They do 3 for 10 pounds and you can choose your colours from a vast selection, good luck :) x

Casen - 12.1 hours ago
I think today is the worst nausea I've had so far. Last week I felt pretty good; I thought the nausea was going away....sigh.

slibby - 12.7 hours ago
YES. the belly-band is great! You can get it in black or white and I used it last pregnancy from about this time until approximately 20ish weeks. You will get more wear from regular pants and last shirts that are too short. A great investment and a lot cheaper than new clothes.,

Crystal80 - 13.3 hours ago
a dr told me if you have ms its bc your hormone levels are in balance. if you don't, then they were out of wack at conception, so the increase didnt bother you as much. it is usually the worst in younger, first pregnancy, and overweight women. but it can occur in anybody. i had hyperememis with the first baby, none at all with the second and they were both boys. this time around, i had no vomiting but severe nausea. who knowS?

Crystal80 - 13.5 hours ago
ew just buy maternity pants. LOL just seems like you would squish your baby

kelly-roo - 14.4 hours ago
we would actually like another girl but a boy would be just as fun. God knows what we need so whatever works!

kelly-roo - 14.4 hours ago
anw, no m/s w/ first and fruit was my fav too! Alright. I'm showing. I give up. HELLO BELLY! Jeans to tight. I went to my fat jeans because rubber bands on the button aren't working. I'm hiding it until the end of the month. My sister is getting married and I don't wanna steal her thunder. This baby makes me more tired but it could be the 1 yr old baby who makes me tired? ....who knows! ...personally, I don't enjoy being pregnant. I enjoy the end result. I dislike the fat feeling all the time. Love the kicks! IT goes quick though and even quicker when you are chasing a kid like I am. Have a blessed Sunday Ladies Night night

newmomma2010 - 17.8 hours ago
Hello ladies!! popping in from week 20. i read a comment from swiftheart and thought i would comment. so even now it looks like i am smuggling a basket ball under my shirt but my jeans still fit me in the legs in just can't button them. Get a belly band, it is an elastic band that goes over your jeans over the button so people can't see that you have your jeans unbuttoned nad un zipped. it works great for me wearing mine now, and it's like 15 dollars its alot cheaper then buying new jeans every month. Enjoy this time ladies it goes by so quick!!!

anw - 19 hours ago
This is my second pregnancy, my first was a girl, and I had no morning sickness at all and craved fruit the whole time. This one I have had morning sickness, but the cravings are the same, so who knows!

So happy to make it to 10 weeks.

jillg - 21.2 hours ago
mainemomma- This is my 4th pregnancy and I have 3 girls. Every single pregnancy was different!! After I had my first girl I thought for sure that the second one was a boy because it was all different symtoms. Then with my 3rd girl it was all different again so I thought again that I would have my boy...NOPE! Well, this one is totally different than the last 3. Still hoping for a boy because this is going to be my last one. I took that intelligender test and it came out 'boy' but I am not getting my hopes up...LOL

Chantel29 - 21.8 hours ago
mainemomma- i have a boy and a girl already and the two pregnancies were totally different. I wasn't sick even for a day with my son, and sick as a dog with my daughter. I just felt different the whole time, so I was pretty sure I was having a girl the second time around. This time I think it's a girl too, but DH really wants a boy...we'll see!!

sarahjk - 22 hours ago
i've had different symptoms and different sex babies i got no symptoms this time hope its a boy was really ill last time and had a girl

mainemomma - 22.2 hours ago
To all you mom's who have had several babies: How many of you experienced different symptoms in each pregnancy resulting in a different sex? My first was a boy and of course naturally I am hoping for a girl since it's our last. I was not really sick with him and this time I am super nauseous!! Last time McDonald's appealed to me this time I want donuts:) Thought this would be a fun question...only time wll tell what's growing in there:)

mama2katelyn - 1 days ago
Hey girls! I took the intelligender test this morning and it very clearly said boy!! We will see if it is right in about 8 weeks. :)

Swift heart. I have moved into stretchy pants because my normal pants are too tight, but like you, not big enough to fit in maternity wear yet. The other thing I have done is buy pants a size or two bigger and they are so comfortable.

Crystal80 - 2 days ago
well, we got some bad news last night that our land lord was selling our place and we had a few weeks to move out. I flipped out! but things are looking up now. But i did find when i get upset my stomach cramps really bad, and i almost pass out. we found somewhere to move, and thank god i don't have to change my son's school. all this in time for the holidays! so i will hopefully have christmas in the new place. all this stress is not good! plus my childrens bd's are in december! i'm trying to think positive!

Just when I thought the m/s was subsiding it hits full force again! Thank God for popsicles!

kimiprego - 2 days ago
Whoohooo I went to the doctor again today(b/c i'm a yeasty girl, i know, i know, TMI)and got to hear the heart beat again. And of course when i got home I got yet another 'wow your getting big' comment from a neighbor (not even a friend? What is that? now random people are starting to notice my rapid expansion?)but i think i did good considering i just smiled and didn't poke his eyes out, lol :) Lord knows i'm soooo ready to trade the mood swings for a prego belly!

Glamour313, that is so funny. I feel the same way.

3rdBunInTheOven - 2 days ago
My girls (ages 6 and 1) and I had the H1N1 virus 4 weeks ago, and I had the choice of using Tamiflu, and I opted not to used it, because of the risks it might pose to the baby. Only my youngest went on it, and we are all fine now. My husband didn't get the virus and he was with us everyday.

glamour313 - 2 days ago
I know one thing, im going to have to retire the 'skinny jean' look. Oh they still fit but after i button i got this big ol bloated pot belly hanging down over em hahaha...if I dont laugh at these things I will cry.

Swift-Heart - 2 days ago
Question: Is anyone else having a lot of trouble with tight pants at this early stage?? Everyday it seems my pants are tighter and extremely uncomfortable. My boss asked me the other day if I'd put on weight because my pants were looking very tight....grrrr. The thing is I'm no where near big enough for maternity wear yet....it's just a little frustrating!

Butterfly25 - 2 days ago
I got the shot today! I feel fine so far and hopefully it helps keep the little one and me safe! Anyone that has other children are you getting the vaccine for them as well? I don't believe it is available yet for my daughter.

MayBebe - 2 days ago
mainemomma- your right on the Tamiflu. Many people don't realize that if they are even exposed they are going to be put on Tamiflu which has bigger concerns. We still have to go through the whole flu season.

glamour313 - 2 days ago
I will be gettin the H1N1 Shot as well, thats nothing to be playing around with.

mainemomma - 2 days ago
anw- I'll be getting mine too! My Dr. said it doesn't cross the placenta...not to mention if we get the swine flu we'd immediately be put on Tamiflu which is a class C drug which even says they don't know the risks to fetus! It only recently was approved for pregnant women...so you figure which is worse?? :)

anw - 2 days ago
I just got the H1N1 and flu shots today. I work with the public so I just can't take the risk!

kelly-roo - 2 days ago
ten weeks? How'd I get to ten weeks? no m/s just moments of yucky feelings and so tired by late day. Taking the baby to the farm today.

slibby - 2 days ago
First day of week 10! This was the week I had a m/c in last time around. I am excited to be this far, but also extremely nervous. My husband doesn't seem to understand my mixed feelings about this week and in particular of this coming Wednesday. He says not to worry....but that is so much easier to say than do! Morning sickness seems to be getting better now though! Fingers crossed.

Crystal80 - 2 days ago
i'm in week 10!!! MS is going away, still catches me off guard every now and then, but not like it was a couple weeks ago.

semi-sweet- jaice kaden, Caden is my son's name i love it!!!

hopeful2b - 3 days ago
Well tomorrow is the big day. I have a doctors appointment and I get to see if my little one is o.k. Wish me luck!!

gailn-123 - 3 days ago
I went to the Dr today :) Said Im 11 weeks 3 days so I get to move up... And the baby was so cute moving around and you could see the little legs and feet perfect!

aluehring - 3 days ago
I did one and it said boy. I am going to take one again after the 13th. To see if I get the same answer.

dinorah - 3 days ago
mamakarr, i took the intelligender test and it said I'm having a girl (we're hoping for a boy!) I'm hoping its wrong, but I know of 9 or 10 diff women that have taken it and it was accurate. My sis in law, however, took the test with both of her sons and it said girl both times. Hopefully mine is wrong too.... but not yours!

mamakarr - 3 days ago
Anyone else done the intelligender test? I just did and it's saying BOY. My hubby will be very happy, since we already have a little girl. Guess we'll find out in about 8 more weeks if it's accurate (supposed to be 90% accurate b/c it reads your hormone levels).

Butterfly25 - 3 days ago
amyrob: I am having the early screening done. I had to call my insurance compnay to make sure it was covered for me because I guess if under the age 35 they don't always cover this screening. Luckily I am covered so I will have U/S done 11/23 and meet with the Dr 12/4.

Butterfly25 - 3 days ago
afikpo: I am right with you!! Today has been the worst so far for me. I truly thought I was going to lose it and throw up. I felt so good when pregnant with my daughter. This time around I feel like crap and food does the same thing to me. I am hoping second trimester is better.

aluehring - 3 days ago
I can't seen so stay awake lately. Too bad I have to be at school in three hours, and have to read a chapter and study for two quizzes, and a presentation today or else I would stay home. Does not help that hubby and had a big fight last night and did not get to sleep until 12am and up at 6am. I told hubby he cant piss me off anymore. It stresses me out. Hubby did apologize for being such an ass. that was nice.

dinorah - 3 days ago
Its my last day in week 10... I can't wait for tomorrow! I'm excited for my 16 wk u/s and it can't come soon enough. Most of my morning sickness is gone, now I'm just EXTREMELY tired. I can't seem to sleep enough. I hope this goes away soon, I want my energy back! Question for all you ladies... as far as BD goes, has that changed much for anyone? It must be my hormones but its all I think about! For some reason, my DH is not as enthusiastic... he says he's still scared to hurt the baby (esp because dr said no sex because of bleeding around wk 5). Is anyone having the same problem?

RAEHRYNAEH - 3 days ago
10 WEEKS TODAY! WOW SO MUCH LONGER TO GO LOL! MORNING SICKNESS HAS GONE AWAY BUT I AM ALWAYS REALLY REALLY TIRED AND DRAGGING :( I CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO END LOL (IF IT WILL) HOPE EVERY ONE IS DOING WELL!

luvmybunnybelly - 3 days ago
