Ãh¥¥¹Lµ{ Pregnancy

Week 9

Congratulations ¡X your embryo is now called a fetus, which means "little one." Your uterus expands to accommodate its new resident, which now measures approximately one inch. Many changes take place this week ¡X the embryonic  tail is gone and all organs, muscles, and nerves are beginning to function. The hands now bend at the wrist, and the feet begin to lose their webbed appearance. Eyelids are beginning to cover the eyes.

 Your pregnancy is changing your figure as well. Your breasts have grown large enough that you'll need bigger bras with better support than your old ones. You may notice your waistline expanding as well, forcing you to pack away your favorite jeans until next year. If you drink plenty of fluoridated water ¡X eight glasses or more a day ¡X you should be getting enough fluoride so calcium and phosphorus will bond well in your baby's developing teeth and bones.
