Bump Diary

Pregnancy week by week › Week 10

Week 10 of your pregnancy

Your baby is about the size of an apricot

About 3 cm long and making little jerky movements. Nostrils and milk teeth are forming, and the heart beats about 180 times a minute.

You this week

Your womb is about the size of an orange. Relaxed digestive muscles can cause bloating, burping and heartburn.

Tips for this week

  • Book your first appointment with a midwife
  • Keep taking folic acid until week 12
  • Start with brisk walks to stay active
