Your baby at 10 weeks
Your baby is the size of a prune at 10th week of pregnancy. Thanks in part to developing bones and lengthening limbs, your baby now weighs about 2.5 g and measures two to three centimeters (around an inch) from crown to rump.
Listen up
At the moment, your baby's outer ears sit low on the head, but they'll move to the right spot as the head grows.
Vision quest
Your little one's eyes are also developing. The basic optical structure is in place and the eyelids are beginning to cover the eyes, which are still on either side of the head.
The whole tooth
Baby's first tooth won't break through the gums until several months after birth, but tiny tooth buds are already starting to form.

Kick the caffeine habit
Caffeine can also contribute to dehydration during pregnancy since it's a diuretic (something that makes you urinate). If you must have your daily latte or fizzy drink, be sure to drink extra water to compensate for the loss of fluid.
Circulation information
At this stage of your pregnancy, your heart begins to pump more blood through your arteries. In fact, by 32 weeks, you'll have 40 to 50 per cent more blood in your body, sending much of it to the uterus and placenta. Taking steps now to improve your blood flow may help prevent varicose veins later in your pregnancy. Walking daily, lying on your left side, elevating your legs (with knees supported) and sitting without crossing your legs can all help to prevent your circulation from becoming sluggish.

Twin development at week 10
If your morning sickness is disrupting your everyday life, ask your doctor about medications approved by the FDA, like Diclegis, which is doxylamine combined with pyridoxine. These drugs can help with nausea and vomiting. You can also try to avoid trigger foods, get plenty of rest, and eat small, frequent meals to stabilize your blood sugar.
Are you throwing up and sick all the time? Are you unable to keep down fluids and are you feeling dehydrated? You may have hypertensives gravid-arum. This severe form of morning sickness is more common in women who are carrying multiples.
