          Your baby's development

          It’s graduation day. Your embryo is now a fetus.

          By pregnancy at 10 weeks, all vital organs have formed, and your baby’s is now considered a fetus.* What are some other changes your baby is going through during your 10th week of pregnancy?

          By now your baby measures longer than 2.5 cm.
          By pregnancy at 10 weeks, all vital organs have formed, and your baby’s is now considered a fetus.* What are some other changes your baby is going through during your 10th week of pregnancy?

          By now your baby measures longer than 2.5 cm.

          By the end of the 1st trimester, his/her body will grow to about 7.6 cm — around the length of a kiwi fruit. This measurement doesn't count arms and legs, because in the 1st trimester, he is measured from the top of the head to the bottom of the rump.

          His embryonic tail, (yes, he has a tail, located at the bottom of his spinal cord), has disappeared.

          At 10 weeks, his ears approach their final form. His teeth buds emerge, and his eyelids develop further.

          His testes start producing testosterone around the 10th week.

          Tiny fingers and toes, which were previously webbed, are now fully separated.

          Your nutrition and health

          There’s no beating healthy eating.

          At this stage of your pregnancy, by choosing good foods from all of the food groups, you're nourishing your baby with a broad range of different nutrients.

          Depending on your age, weight, height and physical activity you will need a diet with different calories content to assure a proper intake of nutrients. For a 2,000-calorie diet, the USDA recommends the following servings of the major food groups:

          • 155 grams of protein (e.g. meat and beans)
          • 3 cups of dairy products (1 cup of milk, yogurt or fortified soymilk or 42 grams of natural cheese or 57 grams of processed cheese counts as 1 cup)
          • 2 cups of fruit (fresh, frozen, or canned) (1 cup of raw or cooked fruit or 100% fruit juice; or ½ cup dried fruit counts as 1 cup)
          • 2 ½ cups of vegetables (fresh, frozen, or canned) (1 cup of raw or cooked vegetables or vegetable juice; or 2 cups of leafy vegetables counts as 1 cup)

          Things to think about now

          Buckle up, your hormones are driving.

          Not feeling quite like yourself these days? Hormones released by your placenta, ovaries, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland are not only guiding the growth of your baby, but are guiding changes within your own body as well.

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
