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.
Remember, every pregnancy is unique, so listen to your body and consult your healthcare provider with any concerns.

Ultrasound (Transvaginal)
A transvaginal ultrasound is a safe and minimally invasive test that provides clear images of the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs. A thin probe is gently inserted into the vagina to evaluate concerns like irregular bleeding, pelvic pain, fertility issues, or early pregnancy. It’s commonly used for diagnosing cysts, fibroids, and other gynecologic conditions.
