What’s going on in there: Fetal development at 9 weeks pregnant
Your baby is the size of a piece of macaroni this week! If you could take a peek inside, you might be able to start guessing whose nose he has because your baby?s facial features are becoming much more distinct. At nine weeks pregnant, his eyelids are visible, but they will stay fused shut until around week 27. And even though it?s too soon to tell by ultrasound, your baby?s genitals are becoming more visible and your baby?s heartbeat is strong enough to hear with a fetal Doppler on your belly. At this point in your pregnancy, your baby has reached a big milestone, having graduated from an embryo to a fetus.
9 weeks pregnant symptoms So. Freaking. Tired.
The levels of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) tend to peak around this time, so you might be feeling moody, nauseous and more tired. But don?t despair: Once you get over this bump (ha!), you?ll start to feel much better. At nine weeks pregnant, the fatigue can feel like it?s taken over, and you?ll be fighting the urge to nod off whenever you stop moving. The exhaustion typically lets up once the first-trimester hormones simmer down. But in the meantime, sleep whenever you can and keep eating small snacks throughout the day to keep your blood sugar levels stable.
