When pregnancy reaches the ninth week, the baby is undergoing several developmental changes. At this time, the fetus is approximately 2.5 to 3 centimeters long. Its weight is around 2 to 3 grams. For this reason, the measurements of the fetus in the ninth week of gestation are often compared to those of cherries.
Some of the most relevant changes that occur in the fetus in this week of gestation are:
- Hands and feet with all fingers and toes.
- Less disproportionate head.
- More baby-like appearance.
- Development of the digestive system.
- Bone growth.
