This week, the baby is approximately the size of a grape.
"The beginning of week 9 marks the end of the 'embryonic period' and the beginning of the 'foetal' period. The kidneys, liver, brain and lungs are all beginning to function. Your baby's head is now half the size of her body, and that little tail that made him or her resemble a tadpole is starting to disappear. With the right ultrasound doppler your doctor may even be able to hear the heartbeat, but depending on the position of the baby it may not be until week 12 before the heartbeat can be heard. The fingers and toes are still webbed, but this will completely disappear in the next few weeks. Even though your baby has now fully developed eyes by now, they will still take quite a few weeks before they open. It will take even longer before you will find out what color they are. Your breast may feel sore, but during this week the nipples of your baby are forming too."
Had a little bit of another scare this week, but turned out to be just that. So that's good news.
