WEEK 9 TO 10 PREGNANCY

HOW YOUR BABY'S GROWING
Your baby’s major organs have started to form.
Tooth buds are growing, and fingers and toes are visible.
Your baby is starting to move around, but it may be a while before you can feel a kick!

HOW YOUR BODY'S CHANGING
Increased hormones might make your skin a bit spotty.
Your digestive system is slowing down and can make you feel bloated or give you heartburn and indigestion .
You might be feeling a bit dizzy or light-headed.
Your blood vessels have widened to boost the blood flow to your baby, this may cause your blood pressure to drop a little，
making you feel tired and abit faint。

HOW YOU MIGHT BE FEELING
You may feel anxious about how you’re going to cope, or how family and friends will react to the news of your pregnancy.
Avoid stress. If you’ve had an argument with your parents, friends or partner, are fed up and feel tired,
take a warm bath, chillout to some music, close your eyes and think of your beautiful growing baby boy/girl。

HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY PREGNANCY
Keep eating small regular meals. Now is not the time to go on a CRAZY slimming diet.
Keep a supply of energy-rich snacks nearby (such as bananas, oranges, fruit and nut bars or oat biscuits).

THINGS TO DO
Have a check up with your dentist. Tell them your pregnant so you don’t have any treatment that is not safe in pregnancy.
During pregnancy, and for the first year of your baby’s life, you‘ll be issued an exemption certificate
which means you won’t need to pay for NHS dentists or prescriptions during this period.
Speak to your doctor or midwife for more information and to collect a form.
You may have your ‘booking’ appointment with your antenatal team between now and week 14.
You may be offered your first ultrasound scan between weeks 10 to 14.
