Your Body at Week 9

Have you noticed any metallic taste in your mouth for a few weeks now? This is another common pregnancy symptom. It is caused by the level of oestrogen you are producing. This funny taste could be causing you’re your morning sickness to be worse than what it is. Try drinking citrus juices or eating colder items such as ice pops.

Your Baby Week 9

Your baby’s kidneys, liver, brain and lungs have all began to function. Their fingers and toes have all started to lose their webbing and their eyes are moving from the side of their head to the front, making them look more humanlike.
