10 Weeks Pregnant: What To Expect
As your baby has graduated from being an embryo to a foetus at the 9th week, the 10th week takes you through more of the finer points of pregnancy. The very first thing to ponder upon is that you are going to finish your first trimester in just 2 weeks!
What's also wonderful at the 10th week of pregnancy is that you finally begin to show! Yes, my dear ladies, if you and your well-wishers have been wondering about when you will start looking pregnant, the proud moment has arrived. Read on to find more about what to expect at the completion of 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Your Baby's Growth During Pregnancy - Week 10
Your little baby's heart is now fully formed and to say the least, fully functional. In fact, your little girl or boy's heart will beat faster than yours. Your baby will resemble a real human person more and more in the coming weeks and the 10th week is no exception.
Other things that come under the growth of your baby include, the formation of the jawbone, the formation of the structure of the brain/head and the mass of which will increase. The other features that will have formed by now are limbs, abdomen as well as pelvis and bones.
What Is The Baby’s Size
As mentioned earlier, though your little soon-to-be-delivered bundle of joy has pretty much grown most of its bodily features, it might shock you that she is still only as big as a strawberry as an accurate example 10 weeks pregnant baby size. The size of your cutie is barely 1.2 inches and still weighs around 4 grams. As each day of the 10th week progresses, your baby will keep growing a bit more.
Common Body Changes
As has already been discussed, your body changes during pregnancy and the 10th week will more or less drive the fact home! To start with, unless you are still having the same level of violent morning sickness as before, you should also gain at least a kilo. As the uterus continues to expand, your belly is going to be rounder, a trend which will only get popular every week.
Avoid wearing tight and well-fitted clothes as the rest of your body will also look rounder. Last off, you will soon notice veins standing out! Not to freak out ladies, but since your blood volume has gone up, blood veins should start to show lightly or prominently in your belly and breasts, depending on your skin and traffic in blood volumes.
Symptoms Of Pregnancy At Week 10
When it comes to pregnancy, every week is a learning curve and no two weeks are really the same. Go ahead and examine the following symptoms and see if it matches.
Discontinuation of morning sickness (if you are lucky)
Increase in vaginal discharge to protect the region from any infection
Bloating and gas formation: Progesterone tends to slow the digestive process which can make you feel bloated and gassy
Fatigue and mood swings which are the result of fluctuating hormone levels
Increase in breast size: Hormones are largely responsible for this as it prepares your breasts for milk production. It's not just the size, your nipples will grow darker, your breasts will become sore and you will even be able to see a few veins in the area.
Belly At 10 Weeks Of Pregnancy
As already stated, your belly during the 10th week of pregnancy is bound to simply grow rounder. The earlier shaped tummy will be firmer than in the 9th week and a distinct baby bump will already be showing for many pregnant females. In most cases, along with your breasts, blood veins will begin to show on your belly within the 10th week of pregnancy.
10 Weeks Ultrasound
As your baby has grown into a miniature human being (well almost), your ultrasound at 10 weeks of pregnancy will reveal almost every function that a fully formed human being has in a very small size.
For starters, your baby's organs are formed and functional. Your baby also has functional arm joints that can be flexed. Bones and cartilage have also formed making the process complete. Other features that you should be able to see at your ultrasound are hairs and fingernails.

What To Eat?
This category again can be frustrating and sometimes baffling. Let's explore what you can eat as 10th week pregnancy food.
Iron: Since this week onward your baby's brain will only continue to develop, it is important to include foods that are rich in iron. Oily fishes, eggs, red meat, bread made of whole grains, green leafy vegetables, dry fruits etc are not only rich sources of Iron but other nutrients as well.
Vitamin C: Along with iron, it might do well to include foods that have vitamin C to aid in the absorption of Iron. Fruits such as oranges are great sources of vitamin C. Freshly made juices can also be included.
Snacks: Even with your craving or aversion toward food, it's important to keep some snacks handy to ease hunger. Try nuts as your healthy choice of snack.
Tips & Care
As you might have already started showing that you are pregnant, it may as well be worthwhile to keep up the good work of keeping yourself healthy and safe to deliver your wonderful bundle of joy. Explore the following options for suggestions that can help you and your baby keep safe.
Dos
Below is a list of things you should do to continue having a pregnancy without any issues.
Drink plenty of fluids as you need to stay hydrated.
Start stocking up on nutrients such as calcium, folate, iron, fibre and zinc.
Eat foods that are rich in antioxidants as this is good for health in general.
Give your body plenty of rest as you are likely to experience fatigue.
Wear clothes you can breathe in as tight-fitting clothes may contribute to stifling blood circulation and breast pain.
Visit a dentist as increased hormone levels makes it difficult for pregnant women to fight off plaque.
Don’ts
Below is a list of things that you should refrain from doing in order to maintain a healthy body and pregnancy without hitch.
Indulge in heavy workouts as you might overexert yourself.
Go to unhygienic areas or noisy places, as this may lead to infections or stress
Go near fumes and pesticides as you may have an allergic reaction to them.
What You Need To Shop For
There are some essentials you need to stock up on such as bigger bras that can help you with your expanding chest line. Now would be a good time to start collecting parenting and baby books. You should also be willing to invest in loose clothes and bigger pants.
Make sure that you get yourself a waist extender to help you fit into your gear. Buy practical and comfortable shoes, preferably with padding as your feet will swell at some point. This, in fact, is a good time to invest in some stylish maternity wear as you will soon be needing it.
Don't forget to do some food-shopping as your whole eating schedule has changed and will only continue to change. Also, invest in some good body lotions and moisturisers because your skin will certainly feel dry. Take care of oral health and invest in some nice toothbrushes and mouthwashes. Finally get yourself some comfortable pillows because your aching body will need all the comfort you can get.
Conclusion
The 10th week of pregnancy can be a sign of relief for some as morning sickness tends to subside at this point. With your baby growing at a healthy pace, you can rejoice at how far you’ve come.

Sensitivity To Sound in a 12 Months Old
A sensitive to sound 12-month-old baby needs your care and comfort. Some toddlers have strong reactions to loud noises like fire alarms, barking dogs, fire crackers, sirens etc. Even prolonged loud noises such as the volume at a typical movie hall can be too much for some toddlers to take.
For many young children, loud noise can be painful and uncomfortable because their ears are still developing. Parents should maintain a list of any specific sounds that irritate their child and share it with caregivers, teachers, grandparents etc. Here are a few things you can do to minimise the discomfort caused by loud sounds to your baby.
Toddler Sensitivity to Sound Developmental Milestone - What You Can Do
1. Block the noise
If your child is sensitive to loud sounds, the first thing you should try and do is to try and block the sound. Use earmuffs or ear plugs; these are quite easily available in the market. You can also buy noise reduction headphones to muffle the sounds. Soundproofing your toddler’s room can enable her to slowly get acclimatized to loud noises.
2. Help your child accommodate not escape it
Unless you want your child to be sitting at home all the time, you can never truly avoid putting your toddler in situations where she is exposed to loud sound. Instead, you can take frequent breaks from the noise with your toddler. You can go out for short walks to take a break from the noise or sit in a separate room for some time. This will also help your toddler get gradually more used to general everyday noises and loud sounds.
3. Preparation is key
Talk to your child in advance about whatever unpleasant sounds she may face before going out for an event. This will help her mentally prepare for sounds such as loud music, firecrackers, or whatever else that can unpleasant for her. Explain to her that you're there to keep her safe.
4. Be patient
Most importantly, both the parents and the toddler need to be patient. As your child grows older, she will become less sensitive to sounds and will get better at coping with loud sounds and noises. All you need to do is to be patient and help her accommodate sounds on her own.
5. Reassure
Don't force your child to stay in a loud situation that will obviously cause her stress. Move her away from such a situation if possible. Reassure and comfort her, so that she knows you're there for her and that it'll be alright soon.
6. Introduce some white noise
For some children with sound sensitivity issues, white noise in the background helps soften the impact of loud and annoying sounds, like car horns and loud music. A fan or a white noise machine in your child’s room may help her sleep and focus better in her play time.
There is no surgical treatment for sound sensitivity in toddlers, but generally, as children grow older their tolerance to increased volume of sound increases too. Don't overuse earphones or ear plugs as it'll increase your child's sensitivity to sound, making her inadept at accommodating to normal sounds. Read more

Breast feeding my baby after c-section (first time being mom)
Wanted to explain my experience of breast feeding for the first time .
Though many people give many advices regarding pregnancy and breast feeding. None of our experiences is same as of others. The scenario is different in every individual.
I underwent caesarean.
So could not feed my baby immediately after surgery. And more over my breasts did not produce milk immediately after delivery. I was in the hospital for three days after delivery and nurses helped me in all the possible ways but of no use.
And I was discharged on the 3rd day.i was very eager to feed my baby but my breasts are not producing milk.i was emotionally very much depressed and disturbed as I could not feed my baby.
After going home tried every possible ways like doing breast massages,eating particular foods like garlic ,methi seeds, which alleviate the production of milk . And I even used two medicines which my gynecologist prescribed for milk production.
After one week my breasts started producing milk but in very less quantity.
In between my mental condition is very disturbed
At one point my condition is very worst because I felt very bad that I could not even feed my baby.
And finally my breasts started producing milk slowly .
And my next problem is my baby could not latch on my breasts.because my breasts are with flat nipples
And moreover my delivery was in the peak days of lockdown, so could not able to purchase products like nipple shield.
And somehow my baby learned to latch Immediately after I started my breast feeding I suffered with nipple crack and nipple soreness .
However I overcame all those hurdles and finally and satisfactorily could breast feed my baby.
Breast feeding is a very wonderful experience
And the best gift every mother could ever receive.
Iam Anna and this is my story about breast feeding . Read more

A. Nasal blockage is very common, specially in small children because of the narrow nasal cavity. Any kind of saline drops like nasal clear will be helpful in dissolving the stuffy secretions, which can be taken out by vnasal aspirator gently also steam inhalation will be helpful also, try to avoid keeping the child directly under the fan.
