Weeks 9 To 12 of pregnancy

Key Fetal Developments

The baby begins significant growth and the beginning of organ formation:

  • Week 9: The baby is about the size of a grape (around 2.3–2.5 cm). Vital organs continue to develop, and the brain starts growing rapidly.

  • Week 10: All organs are present, and the baby’s body now begins to resemble that of a tiny human.

  • Week 11: The baby’s bones are forming, and its movements may start to be felt by the mother.

  • Week 12: By now, the baby measures around 5–6 cm and weighs around 14 grams. The intestines start to function, and the baby begins to swallow amniotic fluid.

Symptoms for New Mothers

Common symptoms may continue and intensify:

  • Morning Sickness: Nausea continues but may start to subside in some women after the first trimester.

  • Increased Appetite: Your body’s increased caloric needs may make you feel hungrier than usual.

  • Hormonal Changes: This can lead to emotional fluctuations and increased body temperature.

  • Bloating and Constipation: Hormonal shifts slow down digestion and lead to bloating.

Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother

Doctor Visit Expectations

  • Your doctor may focus on confirming the baby’s health and tracking progress:

    • Ultrasound: A more detailed scan may be performed to check fetal growth and screen for potential issues.

    • Blood Tests: Screening for genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome or trisomy 18 may be discussed.

    • Lifestyle Advice: The doctor will continue to emphasize nutrition and healthy habits to support both mother and baby’s health.
