Week 10: Feeling the Heat
Congratulations on reaching week 10 of your pregnancy! Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening…
MIND:
Great news! At this stage, those wild hormones swirling through your body might just be igniting your desire for intimacy. With increased blood flow to your pelvic area, plus fuller breasts and that radiant glow, it’s completely natural for your thoughts to veer toward the steamy side. Savor this moment because, in a few months, your focus on intimacy may shift dramatically.
BODY:
As your uterus expands to make space for your little one, you might notice a slight rounding of your belly, but you’re not quite showing yet. If you haven’t shared the news about your pregnancy with everyone just yet (which can be quite a challenge), you might be waiting until after the 12-week mark when the risk of miscarriage significantly decreases. You’re almost there!
BABY:
This week, your baby’s head is becoming more rounded, and those tiny knees and elbows are starting to bend. These little limbs will come in handy when your toddler is tossing their food off the table—like the size of a shrimp cocktail, which ironically, many toddlers refuse to eat! While your baby’s vital organs are already functioning and developing, they can even swallow and kick, but it will be a while before you actually feel those movements.
NEST:
You’re in that transitional phase where maternity clothes aren’t quite necessary yet, but you might start leaning toward looser outfits as bloating and weight gain make your usual pants feel tight. A button extender from a sewing shop can help you stretch your wardrobe a few more weeks, or you can conveniently order one online since you might prefer to avoid shopping crowds. Alternatively, embracing stretchy yoga pants now could become your go-to for comfort (the unofficial uniform of all moms!).

Summary:

While your baby is developing rapidly, you may start to feel the effects of those hormones in various ways. As you navigate these early stages, remember to prioritize your comfort and explore resources that can support your journey.
