You may or may not be beginning to put on weight.10WeekFetusWeb200

Whether or not you have put on weight, you may find that your clothes are beginning to feel uncomfortable. Your waist is thickening slightly and your breasts are getting larger. You may want to find a new, more roomy bra and wear some pants or skirts with an elastic waist for added comfort.

You may begin to develop little white bumps on your nipples, which are called Montgomery’s tubercles. These bumps are designed to help make breastfeeding more comfortable by secreting a white lubricant.

You likely are feeling quite emotional at this time. Mood swings are normal and are due to the vast hormonal fluctuations taking place inside your body.

You may find that your gums are beginning to bleed while you brush and floss your teeth. Pregnancy causes a softening of the gums. You also may be finding that you have more saliva in your mouth than usual. Many women produce more saliva during pregnancy.
