The baby
The baby can hiccup, though there is no air to make a sound. The head is still about half the total length.

For many, nausea starts to lift over the next fortnight. For some it does not, and that is also normal.
This week
A handheld Doppler will probably find nothing until week 11 or 12, do not panic at silence
Start moisturising your bump if it is itching
