one really good way to shut them up is to say "i'm on my period" and walk away.

They'll get the message and hopefully will be so traumatised they won't ask a girl again. A lot of non muslim people asked me today why i was drinking tea, i said i was on a 7 day rest, they got the picture.

Sometimes I say something like "didn't your mom teach you not to ask girls why they're not fasting?" and they shut up. For non-Muslims, I say I'm on hiatus. At my old job, when my (male) boss saw me having coffee in a meeting and asked why I wasn't fasting, I told him I was on hiatus and he was like "PhDGirl, menstruation is nothing to be ashamed of". I was all then ran back to my office.

Your pregnancy: 10 weeks
How your baby's growing:
Your baby is no longer an embryo! Though she's barely the size of a kumquat — just an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, she now has completed the most critical portion of her development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in her body rapidly grow and mature. Her vital organs — the liver, kidney, intestines, brain, and lungs — are now in place and starting to function (although they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy). Her liver continues to make blood cells, and the yolk sac, which previously supplied these cells, is no longer needed and begins to disappear.
