Only 10 weeks till you meet your little one.

Your baby's progress:

• The early lanugo is disappearing.
• Your baby can open and close their eyelids.
• In girls, the clitoris is quite prominent because it isn’t covered by the labia.
• The bone marrow now produces red blood cells.
• The toenails are growing.

Your progress:

• You may be concerned about having sex at this late stage of your pregnancy. Speak to your doctor about your concerns.
• Sleeping becomes more uncomfortable as your belly expands.
• From now on you may be feeling your baby’s hiccups.

What to do:

• Now is a good time to draw up a birth plan.
