At nine weeks of pregnancy, most women have increased fatigue, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms characteristic of early pregnancy toxicosis. It remains to wait a little, and the condition will improve.
At this time, another problem of pregnant women may appear - the manifestation of saphenous veins on the chest in the form of a blue mesh. This means that the walls of a woman's blood vessels are prone to dilation. Measures should be taken to prevent the negative consequences of this phenomenon: choose a comfortable bra, avoid hard work, prolonged standing and sitting. In the future, to exclude varicose veins on the legs, you can resort to using compression tights or stockings. Taking medications with vitamins C and P will also help to strengthen the walls of blood vessels, which will prevent expansion.
At the 9th week of pregnancy, the brain of the embryo develops intensively - the formation of the cerebellum begins, which is responsible for coordinating movements, the adrenal medulla is laid, which regulates the production of adrenaline.
The face of the unborn child becomes distinguishable, the chin is tightly pressed to the chest. The formation of arms and legs continues: bones become stronger, joints, toes and hands appear.
Already at nine weeks of pregnancy, the baby begins to move spontaneously, although for the expectant mother these movements will remain invisible for a long time.
The body length of the embryo from the buttocks to the crown is about 14 mm. By this week, the baby's weight reaches one gram.
