As your baby continues to grow, he/she will take up a lot of space in your uterus. You will feel that your body does not have room for your growing baby, but it will compensate by allowing your uterus to extend below your rib cage. Your baby’s eyes are becoming more mature, and, if direct light is thrown on your belly, it is believed that your baby can tell the difference between light and dark.

Your baby is about the size of a small cabbage. Eyesight is developing, although vision will still be blurry after birth. Strong kicks and stretches are often easy to feel now.

“Be on the alert for uterine contractions. While you still have 10 weeks to go, sometimes the baby will decide to come early. If you start feeling contraction pains and they are growing more frequent, chances are they are real contractions instead of Braxton-Hicks contractions. If you aren’t sure if you are in labour, it’s always better to play it safe and call your doctor. Of course, vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage is another reason to call the doctor.”
