Nine weeks of the week by week pregnancy have been successfully lived. The tenth week pregnancy promises to present you the most special gift for nurturing the beautiful baby inside you with care and loads of love. In this stage of prenatal development, you might be able to feel the baby's heart beat. It gives a chance to experience the life inside you as closely as possible. Those who have heard it say that it is like the thunder of horses but who better than you can explain how it feels to hear your baby live for the first time.

In addition to the heart beat, the other changes in baby mark the formation of toes, the opening of the eyes, the forming of external genitalia and ears. The embryonic tail is now completely gone. The pregnancy risk of miscarriage is also about to end in the 10th week.

The mother finds that the uterus size increases by the time week 10th finishes. Irritating early pregnancy symptoms like nausea and morning sickness, which were at a peak in the 9th week, are also beginning to fade away. By the 12th week, for most women, morning sickness symptom and nausea during pregnancy would be a thing of the past.

No wonder the tenth week of week-by-week pregnancy is greeted with a broad smile by the mother-to-be.
