The
end of week 10 is the end of the embryonic
period and marks the beginning of the
fetal period. Most congenital defects
occur before the end of week 10. The critical
part of our baby's development is safely
behind. The tubes in our baby's lungs are fully
formed and intestines have migrated
from the umbilical cord into the abdominal
cavity. Our baby's taste buds start to
develop and if our baby is a girl, her
ovaries start to descend into the pelvis. Our baby is still very lightweight and
measures about 1½ to 1¾ inch long 3.1-4.2cm
and weighs close to just 1/30th of an
oz or 0.18 oz (5g).

9 Weeks
On Saturday 16th June, Pooja completed 9 weeks of pregnancy. Our
baby is now a little more than an inch
long roughly the size of a large grape,
2.2-3cm (1-1¼ in). Our baby's arms and
legs are longer. The head is more erect,
and the neck more developed. The eyelids
almost cover the eyes. External ears are
evident and well formed. Our baby now
makes some movements and this can be captured
via an ultrasound exam. The baby looks
more recognizable as a human being, although
it is still extremely tiny. It is not
possible to make a distinction between
a male and a female baby at this point.
Troubles seem to be more rising than decrease, Pooja had a dose of IV but is again feeling the weakness. Vomiting sensations and vomits have increased. Sometimes she tells me that we should not have gone for the baby, but definitely v will live thru the same. She keeps on popping mint candies, avala supari etc one after another and tongue has gone dark blue like a jamun.

8th Week
At
about 36 days of development, our baby's
ears begin to assume a more human shape.
The baby is starting to resemble a newborn.
The facial muscles begin to develop, the
eyes begin to develop color, the eye muscles
begin to form, the eyelids start to develop
and the nerve fibers that connect the
nose to the brain begin to form. In the
heart, the valves are present and distinct.
The body's trunk area is getting longer
and straightening out. Elbows are present,
and arms and legs extend forward. By the
end of this week, our baby will be about
1.4-2cm (½ to ¾ in). This also marks the beginning of the 3rd month of the 1st trimester.

7th Week
Our
baby's head is the largest part of the
body - indicative of the rapid brain growth
that has been occurring. All four chambers
of the heart are now in place. Intestines
are also developing but they are not yet
encased inside your baby's body as yet.
They bulge out into the umbilical cord.
The crown to rump length of our growing
baby measures at 4 to 5 mm (0.16-0.2 in).
By the 7th week of pregnancy, baby is 1/3 of an inch to 1/2 of an inch long — barely the length of our pinky fingernail.Our baby's face becomes more defined . Its mouth, nostrils, and ears begin to appear.
On personal front still continuing to have severe vomiting sensations. Seems like we have to go to the doctor for an early check up. Still cannot eat much. We did the Sonography on the 31st of May and the report is perfectly ok. The heart beat is shown as 129 bpm.
