Baby this week
- •Fingers and toes are now separate (no longer webbed)
- •Fingernails and toenails are beginning to form
- •Baby is making spontaneous movements, though you won't feel them yet
- •Tooth buds are forming beneath the gums
- •External genitalia are starting to develop
You this week
- •Persistent nausea and food aversions (though some relief may be starting)
- •Breast tenderness and changes in breast size
- •Fatigue and need for more rest than usual
- •Frequent urination
- •Possible headaches or dizziness
- •Mood swings from hormonal changes
This week's tips
- •Schedule your nuchal translucency ultrasound (11-14 weeks) if you haven't already—this screening can provide reassuring information about your baby's development
- •Stay hydrated even if nausea makes drinking feel unappealing; sip small amounts throughout the day and try room-temperature water or electrolyte drinks
- •Start thinking about prenatal care preferences: birth setting, care provider, and support people who will be involved
- •Invest in comfortable, stretchy clothing if you haven't already—your body is changing and you deserve to feel good
- •Track what foods feel tolerable; you may find relief is coming soon as first-trimester symptoms often ease after week 12

You're approaching the end of your first trimester, which often brings a noticeable shift in how you feel. Many people experience a boost in energy and reduction in nausea starting around week 12-13, marking the beginning of the calmer second trimester.
