BABY IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BLUEBERRY

HOW BABY GROW

Now measuring around 1cm long. your growing baby is about the size of a blueberry. He has a tiny tail. an extension of his tailbone that will soon disappear.

   Cartilage is forming in all your baby's limbs, and nerves are spreading through his legs.  His arms are lengthening and his shoulders, upper arms, forearms and hands are becoming more distinct. You won't feel it yet, but his body is like a tiny jumping  bean, moving in fits and starts

Your baby's brain will grow by a third this week. His teeth and palate are forming and his ears are developing on either side of his head. His eyes are  still in the early stage of development, but already translucent folds are forming tiny eyelids.

This week marks the start of a very busy developmental stage for your baby, Organs that formed in the first few weeks of life, such as the heart and brain, will become more specialized and complicated. Between now and 20 weeks your baby will be growing rapidly.
