At 9 weeks pregnant, your little one is about the size of a green olive. As you progress through your pregnancy, there are many changes happening both in your body and with your growing baby.

Your Baby at Week 9

  • Developing Strength: This week marks the beginning of muscle formation in your baby, but it will take another month or two before you start to feel those first movements.
  • Growing Heart: Your baby’s heart is rapidly developing and may even be detectable with a hand-held Doppler device right now. You’ll likely have to wait a bit longer for your doctor to let you hear that wonderful sound during your appointments.
  • Human-like Features: The spinal cord “tail” that was once present is nearly gone, making your baby look more like a tiny human every day.

Changes in Your Body

Feeling more tired than usual? Fatigue is common around this time, as your body is working hard to create the placenta, the vital connection between you and your baby.
