Week 10

Dear Sweet Pea,

By the end of this week, you will have doubled your length from last week, reaching about 4cm, and you will weigh about 5 grams.

You are no longer an embryo, but a fetus now, and you've passed the most critical time of danger of abnormalities to occur. Taste and tooth buds have appeared, and your fingers and toes are more distinguised. Your joints are becoming more obvious, and you're able to bend your knees and elbows now. Your brain is developing rapidly.

As for me, my uterus should be about the size of an orange but I am still not really showing much (still mostly bloat!). Like the last few weeks, I am tired most of the time and nauseous a lot, but luckily I haven't had any morning sickness. Most of the time I don't feel like eating much, and prefer to just snack throughout the day as opposed to eating larger meals. I find that my moods swing easily sometimes, and my energy is generally pretty low. Looking forward to getting some energy back in the first trimester!
