Bump Diary

Pregnancy week by week › Week 9

Week 9 of your pregnancy

Your baby is about the size of a strawberry

About 22 mm long. Eyelids, tongue and taste buds are forming, along with major organs and bones.

You this week

Pregnancy hormones peak around now: bigger breasts, a thickening waist, real tiredness, nausea and mood swings.

Tips for this week

  • Book your first appointment with a midwife
  • Keep taking folic acid
  • Stay active: 150 minutes a week

Follow week 9 together
