PREGNANCY TIMELINE: WEEK 9
As the fetus grows, the upper limbs develop faster than the lower limbs. The hands are folded over the heart and fingers are longer and developing touch pads at the fingertips.
On ultrasound, the fetal heart can be easily seen. Your baby is now just over an inch long and weighs about 1/20th of an ounce.
As for mom, you are really feeling pregnant and are probably beginning to show. Another important milestone for you is that your chances of miscarriage are now reduced to less than 1.5%. Treat yourself to a relaxing paraffin bath. The heat soothes sore muscles, aching joints and rejuvenates stretching skin.
