The Baby:
Half an ounce!! That's how much, on the average, your baby weighs. She is about 2.5 inches long. All that growth in just 10 short weeks since conception. You can probably hear your baby's heartbeat with a doppler at your appointment this month. The pituitary gland is starting to produce hormones, such as growth hormone, prolactin, corticotropin and others. Ossification is beginning, and there are now bone formations. Fingernails continue to grow, and baby is developing hair. Fingers and toes are fully separated.
