Embryo growth

How is the development of my fetus 9 weeks pregnant?

In the development of the 9 weeks fetus, the size of the fetus is about the size of a grape, weighing about 28 grams and about 2.54 cm long.

The baby's tail has shrunk and almost disappeared this week. However, the baby's head continues to grow and is large enough compared to other parts of the baby's body. In the development of the 9 weeks fetus, your baby's head weighs about 3 grams. The nose has also developed and can be seen on ultrasound, the skin in the eye begins to form the eyelids. You can see clearer eyelids when ultrasound in a few weeks.

The baby's digestive system continues to grow, the intestines grow longer and form anus gradually. In addition, the reproductive organs (testicles or ovaries) will begin to form this week.

Because the muscles have grown, the first few movements can occur this week. However, you cannot feel these movements directly through the stomach, but can only be seen during ultrasound.

Changes in the Body

What are the changes in the body of a pregnant woman on week 9?

When blood flow in the body continues to increase, you may experience dizziness, frequent urination, swelling of blood vessels in the hands and feet, or nosebleeds.

Bleeding can occur in the first three months of pregnancy, and is not necessarily alarming. However, this can also be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. Then immediately consult a doctor if you experience bleeding that is considered unnatural.

In the development of the 9 week fetus, your stomach may not be too big. However, if you work and your body has begun to show clear signs of pregnancy, you should immediately notify your boss, co-worker, or team at the office.

Some companies may ease the workload of their employees during pregnancy. Discuss with your boss or boss about changes in work rhythm during your pregnancy.

Visit to Doctor / Midwife

What do I need to discuss with the doctor in the 9th week?

Some women may experience migraine attacks more often during pregnancy. Researchers still don't know why this can happen. If you have a history of migraines, consult your doctor about migraine medications that are safe to consume during pregnancy.

If you know the cause of your migraine, try to avoid the trigger factors. Stress, chocolate, cheese and coffee are the most common causes of migraines.

Tests that may be needed at gestational age 9 Sunday

Bacterial vaginosis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the growth of excess bacteria that live in several small channels in the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis may not show any symptoms. However, if the symptoms appear, it is usually a fishy odor (this odor usually appears after sex) or a little foam coming out of the vagina.

You can also experience irritation or itching around the vagina and vulva, although at least half of women with bacterial vaginosis have no symptoms.Bacterial vaginosis increases the risk of premature birth and premature rupture of the membranes. So if you have symptoms of vaginal infections or the risk of preterm birth, tell your doctor to be tested and treated with antibiotics.

Health & Safety

What do I need to know to maintain health and safety during pregnancy?

Some of the things you need to know to support the development of the 9-week pregnancy include:

1. Use of spray for ants and cockroaches

Most ant and cockroach sprays are often considered unsafe because they contain dangerous pesticides and chemicals. Even so,scientists have not found sufficient evidence regarding the side effects that might be caused by using ant and cockroach sprays.

In general, there is little information about insect medicines currently being sold. As a precautionary measure, try to avoid any substances that contain dangerous chemicals.

2. Herbal tea

There is not enough evidence to suggest that drinking herbal tea is not safe for pregnant women. Even so, you should avoid tea that has pharmacological effects (which affect your body). You should also avoid tea which can stimulate uterine or menstrual contractions, such as black cohosh or green tea.

Then at the 10th week, what kind of fetus will it grow?
