Your dream child at 9th week
www.mydreamchild.com

During the last 3 weeks, your baby has increased more than three times in size and now looks far more human. The ‘tail’ has disappeared and the growth of hands and feet are more in proportion to the body. As your child goes through this major growth phase, so the placenta is also busy enlarging and building for its important life supporting role.


Development

He/she is starting to look more and more human. Her/his essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound:

  • Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form.
  • Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear.
  • The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her/his eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks.
  • Your baby’s tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct.
  • The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones.
  • An important band of muscle, which will become the diaphragm, now separates the cavity of the chest and the abdomen.

Appearance

Your dream child’s development and appearance is becoming more ‘refined’. The arms develop bones, and the hands begin to touch the face. The legs start to move. At this week's end, your baby’s measures approximately 0.9 inches / 2.3 centimetres long. In both shape and size, it resembles a peapod and weighs less than a tenth of an ounce / 2 grams. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Growth is fast and, during the next 3 weeks, his body will more than double in length.
