Week 10 · First trimester
Week 10, gently.
Your baby is the size of
a strawberry
- 3.1 cm long
- 4 g

“The teeth are already waiting, under a gum that does not yet exist.”
What’s happening inside
Fingernails are beginning. The vital organs are all in place. Tooth buds are forming under the gums. The baby can make tiny swallowing motions and small kicks.
How you might feel
Your blood volume is increasing — this can feel like dizziness if you stand up too fast. Take it slow when getting out of bed.
