If you are having an ultrasound done this week, you may be able to see your baby move!

Your Baby

As most joints are developed by this point, your baby has begun moving!  Although it is not possible for you to feel it at this point, the baby’s movements can be seen in an ultrasound.  Your baby is playing with its fingers and is practicing grasping movements.

The approximate size of the baby this week is .9 inches.

Changes in your Body

Your pregnancy is still not visible on the outside.  Some women experience heartburn and indigestion, as well as bloating and morning sickness.  You may experience frequent urination due to the enlarging uterus pressing on your bladder.

It is possible to feel the baby at this point. My doctor informed me that i might feel little flutters where the baby is. I thought it was gas, but if you pay close attention you can feel that its the baby moving. Its not an intense feeling, you can barley notice it, but it's there!
2nd time arround
written by YvonneL, February 03, 2008
I feel that both of these comments are true. I will be 9 weeks the day after tomorrow and I already have a little pouch, I can also feel the little flutters.
Ist Baby
written by Rosemarie, February 08, 2008
Well I'm almost 9 week and my belly is sticking out a lot. People say that it looks like I would be 4 months not just 2. Is that normal? Some are suggesting that I might be expecting twins. That would explain why my belly is so big. Can anyone help me? I'm really confused..If I'm big now and scared to think how big I'll be when the baby id due.
second time round
written by shannon quinn, February 21, 2008
my son is 4yrs old & although i've been through it all before i still don't know what to expect, this time round i'm as sick as a dog, bled & already at 9w3d have nothing to wear,also i am starting to feel pregnant now with my little bellyp sticking out for all to see,as they say no two pregnancies are the same, with my son i never had a bad day...till the day i had to push him out that is...also with him i glowed, my skin was clear , my hair shined, now my skin is bumpy & i most defiantly do not look or feel glowy infact i feel ugly & hope by the end of the first 12w my hormones would've settled & put an end to all this nonsense & i can at least get on with my pregnancy & actually start enjoying it for a change.
I have to agree as well.

My first pregnancy, I remember feeling the flutteries around my 4th month, but not showing until my 5th to 6th month. This time around, I'm at 9 going on 10 weeks and I defenitely feel the flutterings going on. Yeah, no 2 pregnancies are alike I suppose. But, again, Im not showing yet.
different for everyone
written by Crystal, June 07, 2008
i was very slender before i became pregnant and i now have put on wieght in my tummy area. so i guess i am showing but i am also was considered underwieght when i was positive for a pregnancy test. so everyone is different. thats life.

fluttering at 9 weeks?
written by bizoukreyol, October 01, 2008
i am 9 weeks today and i can already feel fluttering. my dr informed me that it is gas however i can tell the difference. with my 13 yr old i felt no movement till i was five months. my last pregnancy which resulted in a miscarriage at 11 weeks i did not see any hands or feet on the ultrasound my baby looked like its daddy favorite treat. "GUMMY BEARS" there were little nubs for the arms and legs and a huge head
1st pregnancy
written by T.O, December 21, 2008
I'm 2 days shy of being 9wks and I definitely have a pouch already. I'm not sure if its just weight gain (I'm pretty petite) or if its the baby. Although I'm so excited that I'm choosing to think its the baby! :)

bloaty
written by Maria, January 17, 2009
I am only about 8 or 9 weeks, although I need to get an ultra sound to confirm... but I am bloaty (and gassy)so I went and got some maternity skirts and they are SO comfy, and when wearing a longer shirt, no one can tell it's a maternity skirt and I can bask in the comfort of wide elastic wasteband!
4 th kido;)
written by Lisa Segelquist, February 03, 2009
I'm definitly showing!! With every preg I seem to show a little faster! No need for concern, the muscles supporting your uterus are easily stretched, BUT they do return with a little effort:) I'm only ( weeks and I'm sick as it gets.. Can't wait till the second tri kicks in! It always gets better...
