Baby development at week 9

Muscles and nerves begin practicing tiny movements. Eyes are formed but fused shut. Essential organs exist in early versions and keep refining.

Average size estimates for week 9 are about 2.3 cm and 2 g — roughly grape. Your ultrasound report and clinician’s dating override any website average.

What you might feel

A metal taste, excess saliva, or breast changes can continue. Energy may still be low.

You are in the first trimester. Two pregnancies at the same week can feel completely different — treat these notes as orientation, not a checklist you must match.
