Here is what is going on - A CALENDAR OF GROWTH
Week 1 The tiny new organism passes into the womb.
Week 4 (1/8in 3mm) The embryo has the basis of a heart, brain and nervous system.
Week 6 (1/4in 6mm) Head, arms and legs, as well as a digestive system, develop.
Week 8 (1in 2.5cm) Brain, nervous system and muscles become active.
Week 10 (1-3/4in 4.5cm) Eyes start to form. Webbed fingers and toes emerge.
Week 12 (3in 7.5cm) Gender is evident. As muscles develop, movement increases.
Week 16 (6in 15cm) With a spurt of growth, the baby becomes more energetic.
Week 18 (7in 18cm) Fine down covers the body, and bone begins to replace cartilage.
Week 20 (10in. 25cm) Hair starts to grow on the head.
Week 24 (14in 35cm) The baby may suck its thumb and hiccup.
Week 28 (16in 40cm) The greasy vernix protects skin. The brain becomes more complex.
Week 32 (16in 40cm) Your baby is completely formed.
Week 36 (18in 46cm) Becoming plumper, the baby grows finger- and toe-nails.
