10 Weeks Pregnant
Development at 10 Weeks
During week 10, vital organs are typically functional in their basic form. Fingernails are beginning to form, and the genitals are developing, though it is generally too early to distinguish on ultrasound. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) may become available around this time according to many providers' schedules. The fetus is roughly the size of a prune.

Around week 10, some people begin to notice a slight bump. Nausea may remain for many. Energy levels vary considerably. This is around the time NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing) may become available, though decisions about testing are personal and best discussed with a healthcare provider.
Experiences vary widely between individuals. If you have concerns about any symptom, contact your healthcare provider.
