Congratulations, you’re now in the third month of your pregnancy! At 10 weeks along, your little one has transitioned from an embryo to a fetus, and they’re growing rapidly. While you might just be beginning to show a baby bump, it’s perfectly normal if you haven’t noticed any changes yet. You may also see some visible veins and experience an increase in vaginal discharge.
