Week 9 · First trimester
Week 9, gently.
Your baby is the size of
a cherry
- 2.3 cm long
- 2 g
Your baby technically graduates from embryo to fetus this week.
“Every essential organ is here, in something smaller than a cherry.”
What’s happening inside
The tail is nearly gone. Fingers and toes are separating. All essential organs are forming or already present. The embryonic period ends around now — next week, your baby is officially a fetus.
How you might feel
Your waistband may feel tighter even though you are not really showing. Bloating and pregnancy hormones together can make clothes feel off before a bump appears.
