Picture of fetus at 9 weeks of pregnancy

Women will undergo great changes during pregnancy, and their babies will also undergo many changes in their abdomens. The fetus is initially just a test tube embryo in the mother's body. As time goes by, it will slowly transform into a human form. By nine weeks, many pregnant women are very concerned about the growth and development of the fetus at this time.

In the 9th week of pregnancy, the fetus grows very small. At this time, the mother's uterus is about the size of a fist. The uterus begins to press on the bladder, and the pregnant woman will experience frequent urination and urgency. In addition, the expectant mother's breasts will become larger, and the nipples and nipples will become darker in color. Despite this, the weight of pregnant women has not increased much, and their body shape will not change much. Under normal circumstances, the maximum weight gain will not exceed 0.3kg.

The 9th week of pregnancy shows that the fetus is about 2 cm long and weighs less, which should be about the same weight as a grape. At this time, the fetus's brain, eyes, lips, ears, hands, feet, digestive tract, etc. have begun to grow and develop. In addition, the eyes, cheeks, jaw, ankles, wrists, elbows, and ears have already developed, and the blood circulation system, kidneys, urethra, etc. have already formed on their own.

Also, its male reproductive organs, liver, heart, ribs, intestines, subcutaneous tissue, blood vessels, etc. have also been formed, and its bones and joints are also in the development stage. In addition, the head of the fetus at this time appears to be particularly large compared to other parts of the body, and almost occupies most of the body length. Yes, the embryo also begins to grow and develop in the 9th week. With the progress of growth and development, the tail of the test tube embryo disappears. The key is that the 9th week is a critical period for the baby's development.

Because the abdomen is still not prominent in the 9th week of pregnancy, pregnant women who go out frequently need to be careful. When you go out and take a car, you must pay attention to safety and learn how to operate it to prevent the baby in your belly from being strangled. Although wearing a seat belt may make you feel uncomfortable, it will be safer. It is recommended that you choose walking as the best way to go, because hiking can not only allow pregnant women to breathe fresh air, but also prevent varicose veins and hemorrhoids, and most importantly, it is conducive to a successful delivery. Of course, if the company is far away, don't consider it, because each hike should not be too long, generally try not to exceed 30 minutes, and don't walk too fast.

And because salt contains a lot of sodium, and during pregnancy, if the sodium content in the body is too high, pregnant women will suffer from edema, so from the 9th week pregnant women should adjust their salt intake. Doctors say it is appropriate to control it at 5-6 grams per day. Pregnant women who eat too much salt will not only aggravate edema, but also increase blood pressure, and in severe cases even cause heart failure.
