What is My Baby Doing at 9 Weeks Pregnant?

What is my baby doing at 9 weeks pregnant?

The baby is now the size of an olive.

But I am not supposed to have a martini.

Fine, your baby is an inch long. And it is about to graduate from embryo to fetus.

What does that mean?

The child is still developing internal organs, and the liver, gall bladder and spleen have just formed.

I'm not sure I'd want to hear this week, the baby can literally gall you. I was thinking more of this week the baby has eyelashes.

At this point, the baby looks less like a tadpole and more like a person. The arm buds and leg buds are there, and the hand buds have fingers.

That sounds adorable.

The fingers are actually developing. And the joints are forming and would kind of work, so the baby's limbs can twitch.

Shoulders, knees, hips and toes was a popular song to get pre-schoolers to get moving. Can I feel it now?

Not for another two months or so. But the baby is developing muscles so it can actually move.

Then all the pressure and muscle pulls are due to something else.

Mild twinges are the uterus expanding to accommodate the baby and amniotic fluid. If you feel constant pressure, that might be a urinary tract infection.

Or another reason to see the doctor.

If in doubt, see the doctor, but we were talking about the baby. The head is like a third or half of the body size, but the eyes have formed.

I've heard that there may be eye lids.

They are still developing.

So is everything else.

The head is straightening out though still bend over a little, but the ears are prominent.

I don’t think it is time yet to break out those over the stomach head phones.

In a few weeks, the baby will hear everything you say. And it won't understand the music or stories, so don't bother.

It is something to do while I'm resting, which seems to be between bathroom tips.

It is common to feel like you get a workout going to the bathroom to pee or throw up. But do remember to take your prenatal vitamins and eat a healthy diet, so the baby has all the nutrients for the organs to form right.

It shouldn't take so much out of me.

The placenta is still forming, which demands a lot of iron and other hormones. The tiredness should decrease until the third trimester.

Sure, when I'm lugging around an extra thirty to forty pounds.

At this point, you may have gained around five pounds for extra blood, the placenta and growing breasts. Hopefully you haven't lost weight due to vomiting.

The nausea is bad, but rarely that bad.

In the baby's case, the breathing tube has connected to the stomach but there's nothing to pass up, and the lungs are forming.

I've heard it practices breathing amniotic fluid.

The diaphragm is not yet developed, so it can't do that yet, or suck its thumb.

But it has a thumb now.
