Facial and Limb Development: Your Baby in the Ninth Week of Pregnancy
- Baby size 2.3 cm
- Approximate weight 2 g
- About the size of a grape
In the ninth week of pregnancy, your baby continues its rapid development and already has more defined facial features. The eyes, which were on the sides of the head, now move to the front and eyelids begin to form. The ears are also developing and taking their final position. The limbs are longer and the fingers and toes are now visible, although they are still joined by a thin membrane. Major organs, such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, continue to develop and begin to function in a more complex way.
