10 Weeks Pregnant

When you are 10 weeks pregnant, your baby has distinct fingers and toes, and the bones of the skeleton are forming. During the tenth week of pregnancy, you may experience symptoms such as a blotchy complexion, moodiness, and a softening of the gums. At 10 weeks pregnant, the veins in your stomach, legs, and breasts may also be more noticeable.

10 Weeks Pregnant: An Overview

You are now one-quarter of the way through your pregnancy! Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids -- 2 quarts (8 cups) per day throughout your pregnancy.
