With small jerks, the little arms and legs come to life, and he or she can wiggle the hands, which are no bigger than a pea. Not that you feel any of that yet; you will have to be patient for a while longer. Those little hands even have fingers and a thumb now.   <\/p>\n<p>The legs are starting to grow too. Your child already has knees, ankles, and toes. Your child is also increasingly developing a real little face. There is even a tiny pug nose, a mouth, and a tongue.

Lie down comfortably with your legs up and don&#8217;t feel guilty if you let things slide for a while. A lot is happening in a pregnant body right now, and that simply takes a lot of energy. By thirteen weeks of pregnancy, the worst of the fatigue is usually over.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 9 From embryo to fetus Your baby The muscles are now developed enough for him or her to move&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1653,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"templates\/flex.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1746","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1746"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1747,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1746\/revisions\/1747"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
