Week 9: Movement Begins

Your baby is now officially a fetus! While you won't feel it yet, your baby is beginning to make small movements.

Fetal Movement

Your baby is starting to move around in the amniotic fluid. These movements are too small for you to feel, but they're important for muscle development.

Organ Development

All major organs are now in place and beginning to function. The liver is producing blood cells, and the kidneys are starting to work.

Pregnancy Milestones

You're now in the fetal period, which means the risk of major birth defects is significantly reduced.
