9 Week Pregnancy Baby Size
At 9 weeks pregnant, your baby is the size of a peach.
Your baby’s brain is growing rapidly and their heart is pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day. Their intestines are also growing, and by the end of this week they will have developed a regular sleeping and waking pattern.
You may be experiencing some of the common symptoms of early pregnancy, including morning sickness, fatigue, and mood swings. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
With each passing week, your baby will continue to grow and develop, so make sure to take care of yourself and enjoy this special time.
21 Week Pregnancy Bump
Congratulations! You’re 21 weeks pregnant!
You may be noticing a few changes in your body at this point in your pregnancy. Your uterus is continuing to grow, and you may be starting to show more. You may also be feeling more tired and have morning sickness or other pregnancy-related symptoms.
Your baby is also growing and developing during this time. Their brain is growing and their nervous system is starting to develop. Their bones are also starting to harden, and their lungs are starting to develop.
The next few weeks are an important time for your baby’s development, so make sure you take good care of yourself and get plenty of rest. You may also want to start thinking about what you want to name your little one!
We hope you enjoy this exciting time in your life. Congratulations on your 21 week pregnancy bump!
Week 39 Pregnancy
Your baby is the size of a small apple.
Congratulations! You’re 39 weeks pregnant!
Your baby is now about the size of a small apple and is considered full term. He or she is ready to be born at any time!
Your body is also getting ready for labor. The cervix is thinning and dilating, and the baby is dropping lower into the pelvis. You may start to experience some contractions – these are usually just practice contractions, called Braxton Hicks contractions.
If you haven’t done so already, this is a good time to pack your hospital bag and make arrangements for after the baby is born.
Enjoy these last few days of pregnancy – before you know it, you’ll be holding your new baby in your arms!
Pregnancy Symptoms Week Before Period
Most women experience some early signs and symptoms of pregnancy before their period is due. The most common symptoms are a missed period, breast tenderness, nausea, and fatigue.
It’s important to remember that not all women experience these symptoms, and that some women experience different symptoms. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and you think you may be pregnant, you should take a home pregnancy test.
If the test is positive, you should make an appointment with your doctor to confirm the pregnancy and to begin prenatal care.
