Baby at week 10

At 10 weeks from conception (12w gestational): Vital organs are functional. Kidneys make urine. Nails begin growing on fingers and toes. Fetus can flex tiny limbs.

Mother's body — what changes

10 weeks post-conception, your body is: Blood volume up 30%. Skin may glow or break out. Uterus is above the pubic bone.

Nutrition & supplements

Focus on folic acid 400–600 mcg/day (neural tube), iodine 150 mcg, and small frequent meals to counter nausea. No extra calories yet — normal maintenance intake is adequate. Week 10 from conception (12 weeks gestational) needs targeted micronutrients — the developmental window differs from LMP-based advice.

Safe exercise

150 minutes/week of moderate activity — brisk walking, stationary cycling, prenatal yoga. Stop any exercise that leaves you unable to hold a conversation. At 10 weeks from conception, low-impact activity supports placental blood flow without stressing the fresh implantation.
