growth and development: week 10

"by the 10th week of pregnancy, the crown-to-rump length of your growing baby is about 1.25 to 1.68 inches. at this time, we can start measuring how much the baby weighs. before this week, weight was too small to measure weekly differences. now that the baby is starting to put on a little weight, weight is included in this section. the baby weighs close to 0.18 ounce and is the size of a small plum.

the end of the 10th week is the end of the embryonic period. at this time, the fetal period begins. it is characterized by rapid growth of the fetus when the three germ layers are established. during the embryonic period, the embryo was most susceptible to things that could interfere with its development. most congenital malformations occur before the end of week 10. it is encouraging to know that a critical part of your baby's development is safely behind you."
