Week Nine
- Baby has begun movement - While still too small for you to feel, your little one is wriggling, shifting, and dancing already (aka jumping bean)
- Most joints are formed now
- Fetus will curve its fingers around an object placed in the palm of its hand
- Fingerprints are already evident in the skin
- Average size this week -- length 0.9 inch (2.3cm), weight 0.07 ounce (2gm)
Week Ten
- The wee is officially called a fetus
- The most critical part of your infant's development is complete. Now you are headed into a period of rapid growth.
- While a bit strange to envision, your baby's head is now about half its length -
- Eyelids fuse shut and irises begin to develop - Eye color is also determined by this point.
- Placenta begins to function this week or next
- Your baby will be about 1.22 inch long (3.1cm) and weigh 0.14 ounce (4gm) at the end of this week
big head, eyes shut, short bursts of jumping....sounds vaguely familiar to me.
