It's not the baby at 9 wks. It's still way too small and weak for you to feel.

Week 9

Your uterus is now about the size of a tennis ball. It is still low in the pelvis and presses against your bladder causing the need to urinate more frequently. The fetus is constantly in motion, although you will not feel it yet.

During wk 8 the embryo is 1 inch long, and will be 2 inches at wk 11, so not yet, but soon. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

For the cramping, its normal its ur uterus stretching.

For the fluttering feeling, usually that doesn't start til later..

but I started feeling the baby move at the end of 10 wks....anythings possible. At first it felt like water swishing inside of me, and light movements, but now it feels like stronger fluttering

No it is bloating and gas. You will not feel the baby until about 16 weeks at the earliest and most likely 18 + weeks. The baby is still an embryo and is tiny.



very light cramping is normal. your uterus is adjusting and stretching slowly

At this point it's probably NOT your baby. Your uterus is still behind your pelvic bone, no where near being in your tummy yet. What you're feeling is most likely gas/gas bubbles as that is common in pregnancy.



The cramping is normal, it is your uterus starting to expand a bit.

Yep, that's the baby (I felt my first flutters at that stage too).



Cramping is very common during early pregnancy (they stop around 12 weeks).



You're fine :)

The light cramping is normal! And i would say at this stage that the movements you are feeling are probably just gas!!



Congratulations and good luck!!

A lot of people say no, but I felt it that early with my second child. It feels almost indescribable, but a flutter is very accurate. Gas feels more like a bubbling sensation. I would say, YIPPEE, it's your baby!!! Congratulations.

i don't think you would be able to feel your baby that early with your first. I didn't feel my baby moving until 18 weeks. You'll know when it's your baby trust me.

No, it is impossible to be your baby. It is probably gas.
