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.

Hi everyone please can someone help me today i was taking a bath and i moved my leg so it was straight in the bath (i did this quite fast)when i did this i felt a strange hard pop sensation in or around uterus. I am a bit worried now because i havent felt this before there was no pain or anything, does anyone no what it could be?

bethfj - 3.6 hours ago

I finally got the urge to start cooking again, I am even trying out new ingredients and recipes. I made the best red beans and rice the other day (not something I have ever made or had really) but it was so simple and delicous. I have been trying to find iron rich foods to feed our daughter as the dr said she is a little low. Today I am baking a hazelnut and chocolate pie... I hope it turns out great. Yesterday, we went to the museum (which is huge) and walked around for a couple of hours, I thought I was going to die, I was having cramping and was getting short of breath, I had to sit every chance I could, and I felt that I was looking more pregnant as the day went on.

yah 10 weeks! im definatly in maternity pants. I have even put on a pound or to now that the diclectin has me holding down food. I supose no surprise to be showing on my 6th. lol. it is nice to know im not the only one tho!

mbecker - 11.3 hours ago
I'm so jealous of you who aren't showing yet! I started showing around 6 1/2 weeks! I look like I am 15 or 16 weeks already! Granted, this is my 2nd, and my first is 14 months old.

mbecker - 11.4 hours ago
Julie and Tiffado-I normally wear a 14 and maybe a 16 sometimes. I fit into the clothes at Motherhood. Try there. But, I wear a lot of skirts and dresses because I am short and the petite pants don't fir right normally.

Emmyzma85 - 20.6 hours ago
Hey Mommies! Thanks for all the post I got about feeling the baby move already, Now I don't feel alone! I'm getting really excited about this pregnancy finally, at first I was scared and worried to death but, I got a great job offer today and I'm getting stoked about a lot of things. God's truly blessed me and my family! I have still been feeling what I think is the baby moving but it's mostly while I'm eating and it's only on my Right side and it's just ' flutters' feels like the first time I felt Emily move but I was further along with her than this! I guess I just know better what to expect? I'm sticking out a lil now too! It's cute and my hubby say's it's sexy! It's nice having a hubby who tells you it's sexy to be pregnant! I have another OB appointment Dec. 3rd but no U/S. Which sucks b/c I was hoping to see the little guy or girl! I'm really happy finally which is good cuz, Like I said i was scared to death and felt a little uncertain but, that's all vanished! God Bless you all and I hope everyone's pregnancy is going Great! Congratulations to all the new future Mommies! * Hugs * ~ Brandy

Thanks! I found Old Navy last time around. Target though I will have to take a look!

juliedueagain! - 21.8 hours ago
You know I loved loved loved the black full panel ones from target they run about $30.. and I like the Old navy jeans full panel ones.. Old navy has maternity online and it runs big so if you think your an XXL pant order XL if you know what I mean..

Tiffado - 22.5 hours ago
Juliedueagain-In the same boat as you exactly. Second baby and I usually run size 18. Into maternity jeans this week! Where may I ask do you get your maternity clothes? I had the hardest time last time finding things for my size....

sooexcitedtobemommy - 23 hours ago
rhondas third.. i see you took the intellignder test! i think i ruined mine!? i took it in the morning and followed the directions and in ten minutes i checked on it and it said girl... buuutt there was some of the powder not mixed up laying at the bottom, so i stirred it once more even though it says not too and then it said boy! annd hours later it went back to girl.. im so confused with that thing! lol it was suppose to be fun! it just made me mad.. lol

happybabymama - 1 days ago
I'm normally about a size 14 and my pants are really tight and i feel like i am already showing. I thought it would take a little longer because of my size and because this is my first, but i started wearing maternity pants last weekend.

juliedueagain! - 1 days ago
Im not showing at all.. this is my second.. now granted Im like a size 16-18 normally so there is a little to cover the bump.. BUT my pants are so tight.. Im gonna move on over to maternity pants this weekend I think... anyone else in the same boat as me?

kimandbaby1 - 1 days ago
Hey all. went to OB and heard the Heart beat today! They also decided to go with my original due date so Im moving up a week! Yeay! See you in eleven!

darknightsobright - 1 days ago
they did tell me how many beats per minute tho it was about 140 and that was a couple of weeks ago sooo i think eveything is ok!! :D

darknightsobright - 1 days ago
Saz87 - the same thing happened to me with my last ultra sound there was a strong heartbeat but they didn't let me hear it :( the ultrasound technition i felt kinda rushed the whole thing too :(

jochris08 - 1 days ago
Yeah 10 weeks today. US on the 30th...5 days after my son turns 8 months! This summer is going to be hectic.

newlywedbaby07 - 1 days ago
Nervous--I hope you get to find out soon if there's more than one in there! It's funny how I find MYSELF checking every day to see if YOU'VE found out yet,LOL!!! Good luck and best wishes!! No weight gain yet for me, well maybe 1 pound, but I normally fluctuate day to day with my weight so I can't really say it's caused by the pregnancy. I was 132 when got pregnant with DD and 168 when I delivered. That was a LOT considering I'm only 5'2'! Luckily, I lost it all plus 10 more pounds so now I'm starting this pregnancy out at 122 and hoping to only gain ~25 this time. Hope your all having a wonderful day!

mamatrimma2b - 1 days ago
YAY, off to hear beans HB for the first time!!! So exciting! I feel like this might actually make everything seem more real:)

jes76 - 1 days ago
saz87 - Sometimes the Dr doesn't say anything if everything is normal and you have to ask - can be hard to remember in the excitement! I have seen the hb twice on u/s but have not heard it yet. Both times I had to ask my Dr about the bpm - the first time I did not remember to ask until I was leaving and I saw her filling in my chart at the front desk.

jes76 - 1 days ago
Rhodas Third - So glad to hear I am not the only one! Most of my weight gain with my DD was water too. It was so gross - you could push on my hands or feet and the dent would stay there for ages. Like the Sta-Puff marshmallow man. NOT looking forward to that again!

Outofthoughts - 1 days ago
Nervous, you have such a beautiful pregnant belly, if thats not twins, I would be surprised. I look forward to hearing how many babies you are carrying.

Rhondas Third - 1 days ago
jes74 - I too am 6' tall and with my first pregnancy my prepregancy weightwas 140 and wound up gaining 60lbs! And I don't ever eat junk food!(I lost all the weight-thankfully) Then 10 years later I had my youngest son and my prepregancy weight was 150. I wound up gaining 70lbs with that pregnancy. I started this pregnancy at 158 and have already gained 6 pounds! I'm just hoping I don't wind up gaining 80lbs with this one. My main problem is all the water I retain. I always look like a water buffalo at the end of the pregnancy. And you are right coco butter is a god send! No stretch marks here either.

Rhondas Third - 1 days ago
How is everyone doing today? Finally m/s is gone for me for the past 2 days but now I have a cold! Can I get a break?

saz87 - 1 days ago
When i go for u/s they didnt let me listen to heartbeat or tell me how many beats per minute:(

northgakim - 1 days ago
Hi Ladies- so I had to share how proud of myself I am... I stayed up past my 8:00 bedtime aka passout to go see New Moon with my best friend and my husband. We bought tix before we knew I was pregnant. I was worried I would fall asleep in line- but I did it and boy was it soooo worth it!! I forgot what the world looks like after 10PM.

jes76 - 1 days ago
As for weight gain - my last pregnancy I started out underweight (6' tall - 135 lbs) and weighed 217 lbs the day I delivered!!!! AGH!!! After I had her I wanted to keep some of the weight cause I was too skinny before, got to 150 and then boom - pregnant again and have already put on 6-10 lbs. ugh. I eat VERY well, no junk food, no soda, sugar, etc, all home-cooking. Just seems to be in my genes. My mother always put on over 80lbs with my brother and I so my Dr and I are just sort of resigned to it. No stretch marks though - even with all that weight - so I guess there are some good genes balancing out the fat genes! (That or Coco Butter really is the miracle lotion!)

jes76 - 1 days ago
10 weeks yesterday - woo-hoo! We are 1/4 of the way through! Still dealing with day long m/s but no longer as tired as I used to be and can actually get through the day. My lower spine, right above my tail bone KILLS me - hard to get moving when I stand up. Feels like the bones are all disconnected and floating around. When pregnant with my DD, it was my hips that were spreading everywhere and I never had any back pain. Guess it is catching up with me now....

jes76 - 1 days ago
saz87 - Glad everything is OK and yes the baby's heartbeats are faster than ours are. My daughter's was around 176 and both times I have seen this baby it has been around 155. The fast hb always makes me think of little birds.... :-)

maz1982 - 2 days ago
saz87 i'm from 14 weeks just read you post congrast on the twins! the heartbeat of the babies will be fast mine is about 174bpm so don't worry its meant to be like that

saz87 - 2 days ago
hey everyone i went for an emergancy scan yesterday due to a small bleed and i saw my twin babies there still there lying side by side the picture was hazy but you could see the heartbeats going they beat so fast is that normal? :)

LJM...I am right there with ya!!! I have lived off of popcorn and toast for 2 weeks now!!! I have been so not in the mood for anything else. I know it cant be good but I cannot seem to put anything else in my mouth! I have lost 10 pounds in a week...I am not extremely thin to begin with...but not over weight either...so 10 pounds is a lot for me...but I cannot eat 'normal' food!!!

LJM - 2 days ago
Has anyone else gone off food in general or only feel like plain food? I feel so blah and dont have an appetite but when I do eat I only feel like plain food like plain pasta, plain bread, crackers etc Eating only plain food is boring but thats all Ive felt like for a few weeks

MTNWOMAN - 2 days ago
nervous~ I missed your post, that is a bummer! Hope the birthday party is a fun time for you though!

alomah - 2 days ago
nervousmothrof3 How frustrating for you. Its frustrating for us too. I'm busting to know if you're having twins. Lol

mamatrimma2b - 2 days ago
I've only gained a couple pounds but I swear most of it is from constipation. I know maybe TMI but all I've had since almost two Saturdays ago looks like what a rabbit would produce. I went to the store and got apples, fiber chews, high fiber oatmeal AND Fiber One cereal! I am DETERMINED TO GO dangit, one way or another, haha!

Griffensmommy - 2 days ago
Kinta-- I have been feeling great.. so great... that I eat whatever I want to and I am sure I will pay for it later! I gained 30 lbs with my son and so far I have gained one pound, however at the rate I am going that may have changed the next time I step on the scale!!! I really try to eat 'healthy' foods but every now and then I mess up a little :) Current weight is 121 lbs. Oh yeah.. and the constipation has hit me too--can make you feel pretty yucky-- luckily I missed out on the morning sickness this time around so no complaints from me :)

MTNWOMAN - 2 days ago
kinta ~ my weight change has been about -5 to -10 lbs. Sickness and fatigue have taken over my body! lol

YAY 10 weeks today! Loving double digits! Only 2 weeks till my scan! Boy the time is going so fast! I just looked in my diary and realised i have 2 weekends up until the new years where i dont have anything already booked/planned. I love being busy but geez it's exhausting when ur pregnant! Is anyone really blocked up at the moment? I was NEVER constipated with my DD and now I go maybe after 3-4 days and when i say go I mean I spend a whole morning on the toilet getting rid of everything (sorry TMI but UGH!) Whats everyones weight gain so far? Mines been about 2lbs which is ok I think...im 126.7lbs currently. Anyway, feeling a bit sick this morning, think its the heat/tiredness that does it to me. How are all you ladies feeling???

MTNWOMAN - 2 days ago
I won't have one until about 16 weeks, and that will probably be my only one, unless something weird happens!

cazzawilson - 2 days ago
