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).
