The article was consulted professionally by Specialist Ii Tran Thi Mai Huong – Obstetrics and Gynecology Department – Share99 HaiPhong InternationalHealth Hub.

At the 9th week, the pregnant mother is in the first trimeme of pregnancy and the fetus is only as large as a grape. By this time, the fetus has begun to have full parts and is increasingly in the shape of a baby.

1. Development of the 9th week fetus

At this stage, the fetus is already almost 2.5cm long, weighs about 3.5g and will gain weight quickly. The head of the fetus is still larger in size than the torso, but will become more balanced in the following weeks.

In the 9thweek , the tail of the fetus disappeared and was replaced with two legs, and the toes appeared. All four heart compartments have been formed and other organs are being developed. Some small muscles in the legs and arms have been formed, so the fetus will have impromptu movement. Small milk teeth and jaw bones are also being formed. In the next week, the teeth will harden and connect to the jawbone.

If the mother votes for an ultrasound at the 9th week, the doctor will not be able to determine the sex of the baby but will be able to see some very small movement of the baby. At this stage, you can also hear the baby's heart rate if doppler ultrasound is performed. Don't worry if you can't hear your heartbeat right now, your baby may be turning away and "hiding."

2. Changes in pregnant mothers during pregnancy week 9

Fatigue: At this week of pregnancy, the pregnant mother will still feel tired. The mother's body is making efforts to form a placenta to provide nutrition to the baby and this will take a lot of effort. Moreover, the rate of conversion and hormone levels are increasing, leading to a decrease in blood pressure and blood glucose, causing severe feelings of fatigue. This feeling of fatigue decreases as the placenta is formed completely.

Frequent urination :You may have to urinate a lot of times a day and this is a common phenomenon. HCG hormones increase the amount of blood brought to the kidneys and increase the scum filtration function of the kidneys, so you will feel you have to urinate more. The fact that the fetus is growing and pinching the bladder can also reduce the likelihood of urinary containion.
