Week 9

"Your baby measures about 1 inch (22 to 30 mm) from crown to rump.

Your baby is now beginning to look like a proper baby. Her hands, feet, and limbs are growing quite fast. Her fingers and toes are nearly complete, and touch pads form on the fingers. Her eyelids almost cover her eyes and her nose has taken shape.

During the next few days your baby's diaphragm will develop; this is the muscle that will enable her to breathe after birth. Her intestines now begin to move out of the umbilical cord, where they started to form, and into her abdominal cavity where the space is increasing as her body gets bigger."
