Pregnancy Week by Week/Week 9: Tiny Movements
Week 9: Tiny Movements
At week 9 of pregnancy, your baby is beginning to make tiny movements that are not yet noticeable to you. This is an exciting time as basic facial features continue to develop, and the formation of bones and reproductive organs begins, although these reproductive organs are not yet visible. The baby is now about the size of a grape.
Your Body During Week 9
Your body is also undergoing significant changes. Hormonal fluctuations may cause mood swings, and your uterus has grown to the size of a large pear. You might notice skin changes such as darkening of the areolas and the appearance of the linea nigra, a dark line running down your abdomen. Additionally, an increase in vaginal discharge is common during this stage.
Hati Health Tips for Week 9
To support your health and well-being during this time, consider staying active with gentle exercise and beginning pelvic floor exercises. Staying well-hydrated is essential, and joining a pregnancy support group can provide emotional support and valuable information.
For medical monitoring and reassurance, consider scheduling an Ultrasound (Transvaginal) or a 1st Trimester Screening - Comprehensive. Regular check-ups help ensure both your health and your baby's development are on track.

Ultrasound (Transvaginal)
Transvaginal examination is an advanced imaging procedure that assesses the female reproductive organs with precision, providing detailed images of the vagina, cervix, uterus, and ovaries. This test is typically performed using a probe inserted into the vagina, allowing for accurate evaluation of conditions such as ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease, making it essential for early detection and effective management of gynecological issues.
It is recommended at 6-14 weeks during early pregnancy, as well as early in the menstrual cycle and during the cycle for infertility evaluations. The ultrasound should also be conducted as needed for gynecological concerns like abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, endometriosis, or postmenopausal bleeding. Additionally, it can be part of an annual exam for those with a history of gynecological issues, and is useful for monitoring PCOS and assessing known ovarian cysts or tumors. Regular monitoring is advised for evaluating infection and inflammation in suspected pelvic inflammatory disease. For personalized scheduling, consult your healthcare provider.
