A close friend of mine (who was exactly as far as I am) unfortunately had a miscarriage yesterday. I am so so devastated for her. I can't imagine the pain and hurt she is going through. I'm so sorry my friend, you are in my prayers and I know that you will have a little baby in your arms one day soon. This post is dedicated to her, her hubby to be in a few short weeks, little Luka and bubble that has gone to heaven. xx
10 weeks
By the end of pregnancy 10 weeks your baby will have moved past the embryonic period, and will begin the 'fetal' period. The fetal period is the time when your fetus will grow rapidly. By week ten your baby is less at risk for congenital malformations, which usually occur during the first nine weeks of pregnancy. You should breathe a big sigh of relief by the end of pregnancy week 10 now that this important developmental stage is past!
Changes in You
Hang in there, now that you are 10 weeks pregnant just a couple more weeks and you should start realizing some significant relief from morning sickness!
By 10 weeks pregnant you are probably starting to feel more and more positive about your pregnancy. You have probably had the opportunity by now to hear your baby's heartbeat for the first time at your doctor's office. The sound of your baby's heartbeat for the first time will probably send you and your partner to the moon and back.
We have been given the option to get a detailed scan by one of the top 5 doctors in the country, that specialize in detecting defects and congenital abnormalities from 10 weeks 6 days to 13 weeks 3 days. They count the fingers on the hands etc. Though they spend in excess of 30 minutes scanning the baby, which has actually not be proven to be safe. Justin and I have not completely decided if this is something we want to do, though for now we are just letting it be. God has told us everything is going to be just fine, and we trusted Him with this pregnancy, so I believe that that trust should extend throughout the pregnancy.
