9 weeks 2 days - strawberry sized!
So baby is officially a foetus this week!
They should be the size of a strawberry, and now is growth spurt time as next week they should be around the size of a small plum! All of their major organs should be present in basic forms, and their heart should have all it’s chambers and be audible using a doppler…it beats at twice the speed of an adults!
Baby’s eyelids are now fused shut to let the eyes do lots of developing. I’ve been reading conflicting evidence about WHEN exactly the baby can hear you, but am not going to stop talking/singing to it anyway :-)
I’ve been absolutely shattered, but in a positive way! I’ve been feeling a bit dizzy, mainly only at night when I get up more quickly to go to the loo lots, and I’m not worried because I have natrually low blood pressure anyway.
Roll on next Wednesday, God willing a very exciting time!
