You really should not worry. But please make sure that you have had "The talk" with her.
I believe girls should have an outline of the birds and the bees at age nine. there are some really great books about it. I told my son at nine we used a book and my husband and I sat down together and discussed the book. He was really shocked when he found out about the actual act. But because other kids at school know. It is better for your child to get the truth from you. Then to get some distorted idea from a friend.
All the same. It is not a sign that she wants to get pregnant NOW.
I wouldn't worry at all. just as long as you do have "The Talk" with her.
Many young girls are fascinated by pregnancy.

Now would be the time to have "the talk". Remind her that is is ok to pretend, but explain why now isn't the time. If she isn't just pretending and wants a baby, buy one of those dolls that cry and go to the bathroom, they have some like real babies. One or two nights of that will change her mind. Or babysit a friends baby and show her how hard it is.

She is just playing, I am guessing she saw it on tv. Or mayber, has anyone she knows had a baby? Like a friends mom or a relative. Don;t worry, its normal. Though I would take this chance to start introducing her to "the talk" Just the basics though, dont go to indepth, just how far you think she can handle at her age and maturity level. I don't think she really needs to know about birth control at this age. That will give her the impresion sex is ok as long as you use birth control. And at this age especially, itsnot (plus I am a strong believer of no sex before marriage)

Don't worry about it too much - kids do that. That's why they have dolls, they pretend to be mommies and stuff like that. She probably saw a pregnant lady in the day and was pretending to be her. Just to settle your mind you can give her "the talk" about babies and childhood vs. adulthood. But keep it age appropriate and don't get into anything unnecessary right now.

It's nothing to overly concern yourself about - she was only playing.
Is it possible that she could have seen something to do with pregnancy on the television or maybe one of her friends at school is expecting a new little brother or sister so she's thinking about it? It's the same as playing mummies and daddies - just a little advanced. If your that worried, just talk to her about it.
Take care

u should let her know she should not do that because if she doesn't stop she's gonna want 1 when she's a teen because she got everything she need.but that's what she thinks.she's gonna have 2 have a job,money,and a daddy.cause aint no teen boy gone take care of a baby like they say they would.so tell her 2 stop.

Kids that age and younger do that all the time.It's no big deal really.For them it's fun and some of them are curious.She should get over it later on.

That's a very normal thing for girls to do; I wouldn't worry about it. I would make sure she knows about birth control and about protecting herself from STDs though.
