As your pregnancy progresses it's time for your first appointment, scan and tests.
Week 9
Baby’s length from crown to rump: 22-30 mm.
You may get your first 'dating' ultrasound this week. You'll begin to notice changes in your appearance. Your skin may be smoother, although you could get outbreaks of spots. Your hair will be less oily and your breasts are getting visibly fuller.
Your baby's back is straightening and its tail is shrinking (yes tail!). It will already be making tiny involuntary movements as its muscles develop.
Week 10 Baby's length from crown to rump: 22-30 mm.
You're getting bigger and it's already time to start reading up on birth choices.
Your baby's looking recognisably human now with separate fingers and toes, taste and tooth buds. The heart will be completely developed now, and the good news is that it's out of the danger zone for developing most congenital abnormalities.
Week 11 Baby's length from crown to rump: 44-60 mm.
If you need a Choronic Villus Sampling test, it'll happen around this week. You may feel more sweaty than usual as there's more blood being pumped around your body and your metabolism’s speeding up. Remember to drink eight glasses of water a day.
Your baby's ears have moved up from the neck to the sides of the head, and the eyes have moved to the centre of its face. The head is still half of the body length, and the intestines are already working, although the baby has no use for them yet.
Week 12 Baby's length from crown to rump: 61 mm.
It's time for your booking appointment. Your uterus will now move up from your pelvis into your abdomen, where there's more room for it to grow.
Your baby’s face is looking much more human, and it's around now that toenails and fingernails start to develop. The baby still won't have any control over movements. The intestines now fit into the body. If it is a boy, his genitals will start changing from their original female state.
