By the 10 th week of pregnancy, the crown-to-rump length of your growing baby is about 1.25 to 1.68 inches (31 to 42 mm). At this time, we can start measuring how much the baby weighs. Before this week, weight was too small to measure weekly differences. The baby weighs close to 0.18 ounce (5g) and is the size of a small plum. The end of this week is the end of the embryonic period. At this time, the fetal period begins. It is characterized by rapid growth of the fetus when the three germ layers are established. Most congenital malformations occur before the end of week 10. It is encouraging to know that a critical part of the baby's development is safely behind you.

We have made it to double digits which is too cool for words. I am beyond happy. I have been having a bunch of funky feelings in my abdomen. Mostly pinching and some pulling but also my muscles just feel tired and achey. I have also been very tired but going to bed or resting on the sofa in the evenings has been a lifesaver.

It is good to know that we are mostly past the point where any gross malformations occur. I hope everything is going well with the bean. It certainly looked perfect on ultrasound.
