How is your 10 week old baby growing ?

Your 10 week old baby’s movement is pretty smooth right now. Her arm and leg movement have become more circular. She needs more space to move her arms and legs. Lay a blanket on the floor  and let her move as she pleases. This will help tone and strengthen her developing muscles. If you let her lie on her tummy, she will try to push-off with her legs. This is her way of being mobile.

You can take your baby swimming around this time. It is a good exercise for both you and the baby. It starts your baby on the road to learning how to swim and staying safe in water.

Your life

It is unlikely for you to get pregnant when your baby is under 6 months and you are breastfeeding exclusively day and   night. However, you will begin to ovulate before your period shows up so it is safe to use contraceptives.

Talk to your doctor about your options. You do not necessarily have to continue where you left off before getting pregnant. You may need to change your contraceptive because you’re breastfeeding or because you just has a baby. Discuss it with your doctor. He will help you make the right decision for your particular situation.
