10 Weeks Pregant Today |
The Baby: Measures 1 1/4 to 1 2/3 inches (31 to 42mm) and weighs 1/2 oz (5g). The baby is now no longer an embryo but a fetus. The baby's nervous system is responsive and many of its internal organs have begun to function. Its heart is completely developed. Genitals have begun to form, but its too early to distinguish the sex. |
The Mama and Papa: Its Easter this week. We spend the time with our family. This week Chantelle begins to have terrible Bachache's. Icy Hot seems to help a bit. Hopefully this isn't a problem for the next 30 weeks. |
