Here is a detailed list of week 9 pregnancy facts:

The abdomen and chest cavities become separated.
The eye muscles and upper lip develop.
Using ultrasound, the first fetal movements can be detected.
The nerve cells of the eye’s retina form.
The semicircle can now serve the ears form.
The nasal passages open to the outside.
The nerve connections from the retina to the brain are established.
A distinct neck connects the head to the body.
All fingers and toes are present.
The urinary and rectal passages are completely separate.
You will start putting on weight now so it is a good idea to keep a record of your weight gain.
Your gums are becoming softer and thicker because of hormone changes so you will need to pay more attention to oral hygiene.

I loved looking at what to expect each week my pregnancy progressed. Smiling to myself seeing what sizes fruit or vegetable he was that week. Then seeing what possible pregnancy symptoms I could experience next, not as fun!

A diary for recording and charting weight gain is important. Also useful to write down eaten foods. It can be good to have when tests are done and some results come back; in particular with gestational diabetes.
