9 Weeks Pregnant - Signs of Pregnancy
Mother
At 9 weeks pregnant you may be feeling more hungry than normal but you actually only require an extra 200-300 calories a day. Try to eat a healthy balanced diet and avoid snacking on junk food.
Many couples start to think about spreading their good news around about now,
although it is traditional to wait for twelve weeks due to the increased risk
of miscarriage
up until this point.
Baby
Your baby has graduated from embryo status to foetus! Most of his joints are developed. He is losing the remains of a tail and his facial features are developing. His eyelids remain closed, although your baby can detect and respond to external light and sounds! He begins to move a little and can curl his fingers.
