YOUR BABY’S DEVELOPMENT AT 9–13 WEEKS

At this stage, you’re at the middle to end of your first trimester and the beginning of your second. It’s not easy being pregnant, and we know you’re probably ready for those early pregnancy symptoms to go away. 

While you think about your options for an unplanned pregnancy, especially if you’re 9 or 10 weeks pregnant and don’t want to be anymore, here’s a peek at what’s happening inside your body.

  • 9 Weeks

    At 9 Weeks, your baby is around the size of a cherry. You might even be showing! And at 9 weeks, the pregnancy hormone HCG is peaking, which means that the pregnancy symptoms you’ve already experienced are at their most severe. You might find it harder to control your emotions, and you could be feeling totally exhausted from all the hard work your body’s been doing.

  • 10 Weeks

    You’ve gone from a cherry to a prune! Your baby is growing pretty fast as it officially moves from embryo to fetus. Right now, you’re probably still experiencing many of those early pregnancy symptoms that just won’t go away yet. But, once you approach the second trimester, the morning sickness and nausea you’ve been experiencing will start to subside.

  • 11 Weeks

    Your baby is growing pretty fast by 11 weeks! You’re probably still experiencing an increased appetite along with the morning sickness you’re already accustomed to.

  • 12 Weeks

    You’re finally at the end of the first trimester! Your baby is now about the size of a lime. You should feel the urge to urinate a whole lot less.

  • 13 Weeks

    At 13 weeks, you’ve finally passed the first trimester of your pregnancy. Now that you’re in the second trimester, you’ll probably start to feel more energized. At this point, your baby is about the size of a lemon.

“I’M 10 WEEKS PREGNANT AND I DON’T WANT TO BE PREGNANT ANYMORE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?”

 Generally speaking, there are three options for an unplanned pregnancy: adoption, abortion and parenting. The options that make the most sense for you may vary depending on a number of factors, including how far along you are in your pregnancy. Ultimately, you are the only person who can decide which of your choices is the best for your life.

To help you in your decision-making process here is some more information about each of your options for an unplanned pregnancy at three months:

ADOPTION

For many women, adoption is one of the best decisions they could have made for themselves and their baby. If you’re 9 weeks pregnant and want to “give a baby up” for adoption, you still have plenty of time to make that decision. 

In fact, it’s never too late to choose adoption for your baby, whether you’re 10 weeks pregnant, 20 weeks pregnant, or your baby has already been born. It’s always 100% free.

Adoption provides a loving home with a family you choose, while giving you the chance to focus on your goals. 

During an adoption, you get: 

  • Complete control over the process.
  • Financial assistance for rent and bills.
  • To choose the perfect family for your child.
  • Free counseling and support.

Looking for Someone to Adopt Your Baby?

“I hope Teddy will always know how much I love him and that this was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. But I made it in his best interest. I made it for him to have better opportunities, to have a future, to grow up and be something big, and I always hope to be a part of his life,” said Sara, a birth mother, about choosing adoption for her baby.

It’s important to work with trusted adoption professionals who can provide you with comprehensive services and support. National licensed adoption agencies can provide everything you need, and offer a larger selection of families to choose from.

Smaller local licensed agencies can offer adoption in your immediate area, but may have smaller staff and fewer available families. 

Many adoption agencies offer a 24/7 hotline, so you can call them whenever you need to, with absolutely no obligation to choose adoption.

ABORTION

Wondering how to stop a pregnancy after 3 months can evoke many different emotions, but no matter how you feel, we’re here to help.

Terminating your pregnancy is still one of your early choices for an unplanned pregnancy. But abortion laws are changing rapidly around the country with more states limiting access or banning the procedure altogether.

You’ll want to check your state’s abortion laws to determine if it’s an option.

If you think you don’t want your baby and you’re considering this unplanned pregnancy option, please talk to your doctor as soon as possible. They’ll be able to give you all of the information you need to determine what 9–13 weeks pregnant abortion options are still available for you.

PARENTING

If you’re three months pregnant and don’t want the baby, parenting is usually the first thought that comes to mind. But, does that mean it’s the right option for you?

If you’re thinking about this option, it’s important to get prepared as quickly as possible. You might think about starting a budget or building your savings in anticipation of your new arrival. 

Many women are unsure if they can become parents due to their financial or living situation. They might still be in school, they might already have other children, or they might be living in uncertain living situations. If you think this option is right for you, make sure to do plenty of research beforehand.

If you’re 10 weeks pregnant and don’t want it, or if you’re considering your options for adoption or parenting at 11, 12 or 13 weeks, you still have some time to decide which one is right for you. With that in mind, it’s a good idea to get a plan in motion for each of your unplanned pregnancy options until you make your final decision.

WHAT’S NEXT?

An unplanned pregnancy might be scary, but it doesn’t have to throw your life completely off balance.
