baby : congratulations! your baby is now officially called a "fetus. " it looks a little like a medium shrimp measuring 1. 25 to 1. 68 inches from crown to rump and weighing a little less than two-tenths of an ounce. you might be reassured to know that most physical malformations when they occur have occurred by the end of this week so the most critical part of your baby's development is safely behind you. but other developmental processes such as those affecting behavior and intelligence will continue throughout pregnancy. eyes are covered by skin that will eventually split to form eyelids. mom-to-be : you still probably don't show but you may be wearing looser clothes. you may even be starting to eye maternity clothes although you probably still don't need them. you may continue to feel tired and moody but take heart: these symptoms shouldn't last too much longer. tip of the week : if you're going to have chorionic villus sampling (cvs) a prenatal test used to detect genetic defects such as tay-sachs sickle cell anemia most types of cystic fibrosis and down syndrome it will probably be scheduled between now and 12 weeks.
what can i expect during week 10 of my pregnancy?
