Fetal Development (Weeks 9–12)

Scribbled Underline 2

Your baby transitions from embryo to fetus, with facial features, limbs, bones, organs, and muscles forming rapidly.

At week 9 the face, taste buds, and major organs start forming; by week 12, sex organs, bones, muscles, and all vital systems are in place.

Week-by-Week Highlights

You may experience breast changes, skin pigmentation, constipation, fatigue, increased vaginal discharge, and lingering nausea.

Common Symptoms

Regular checkups include ultrasound scans and screenings such as urine and blood tests, plus monitoring of fetal heartbeat.

Essential Screenings & Tests

The uterus lifts above the pelvis, making the belly slightly noticeable—though stronger abdominal muscles may delay visible changes.

The Baby Bump Begins

Focus on prenatal vitamins, healthy food, rest, and comfortable sleep and sitting positions to stay at ease.

Helpful Practices

Skip smoking and alcohol, and avoid staying static for long periods to support a healthy pregnancy.
