To some women, pregnancy can sometimes be scary the same way that it could be magical. During the first few weeks, expectant mothers become weary of how their child develops and if they are at risk of any medical conditions. This is why most prenatal checkups begin when a woman is 10 weeks pregnant.

During this period, the doctor would need to know the medical history of both the expecting mother and father. This will give them a better basis to identify if a child would be at risk of acquiring any genetic condition when they are born. This is also the time that they will be conducting a number of tests on the mother to see how well they are coping to the changes.

When a woman is 10 weeks pregnant, the child’s vital organs have already developed and are now beginning to function. However, this is still the time when the brain is continuously developing throughout the term. At this point, the fingers and the toes have already separated and the tail has disappeared. This is also the time when the child develops the proper testosterone hormones for boys through their testes. The fetus will no longer look like a ball of embryo at this time, as they will now take on a distinctive human form. Some medical experts believe that exposing yourself to classical music will also be able to help in your child’s mental development as this is the time when they absorb everything they can while their brains are in the process of development.
