The term of 10 weeks is a kind of line for the embryo. It is at this time that it turns into the fetus. And all subsequent months of pregnancy, the baby will become more perfect and more perfect.
In the baby, the tongue has already appeared flavor-receptors, fingers on the arms and legs separated from each other, and rudiments of milk teeth appeared in the mouth. The baby’s heart and brain also continue to develop, a diaphragm began to form in the chest.
It is still impossible to determine the gender of the baby, but the boys have already begins to develop the hormone testosterone. The child’s skin is still very thin and transparent, but the baby is already moving with hands and legs. And literally a few weeks later he can even suck his thumb!
In terms of the size of the man, we compare with the average plum – its height is about 35 mm, and the weight is as much as 5 grams! Despite its small size, the fetus is already very similar to a person and his organs are mostly formed.
But what about mom? The pregnant woman may have changes in the mood and rapid fatigue. But there is good news. If a woman is concerned about toxicosis, then it will end soon. As a rule, these phenomena end by 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Doctors argue that if the end of 10 weeks with the embryo is all right, then the appearance of innate anomalies is minimized. That is why at 11-12 weeks all pregnant women undergo a screening study. Protect yourself and your baby!
