Woot, I am on my ten weeks today! Aside from feeling sleepy all the time, I can feel how heavy I am already. My waistline has disappeared, my tummy seemed to be pouting out, my hips are often feeling sore and it’s a struggle to stand up right away. Sigh. And I am only on my ten weeks!
I crave for no particular food – except for husband’s pork nilaga and buttered shrimp. There are random food that excite me but does not appeal to me the next day. And if that habit continues I know I will look bigger than I imagine I will be.
So what do baby number 2 looks like at ten weeks now?
The baby now enters its fetal period. The average size is approximately 27-35 mm crown to rump length (CRL), or 1.06-1.38 inches. S/he weighs in at 4 grams, or 4 paper clips. Tiny toes have formed. The eyes are largely open, but the eyelids are beginning to fuse, and will stay that way until 25-27 weeks. External genitalia is beginning to differentiate. External ears are formed, as is the upper lip. The biggest accomplishment this week is the disappearance of the tail! It’s beating at about 160 beats per minute (BPM). Source
