-
Your baby at 4 weeks
Your baby is the size of a poppy seed. By the end of the week, your little one measures around a millimeter (0.04 inch).
Once implanted in the side of your uterus, the fertilized egg divides into layers of cells and officially becomes an embryo. These cells will grow into your little one’s body throughout your pregnancy, forming the nervous system, skeleton, muscles and organs.
-
Your baby at 6 weeks
Your baby is the size of a pomegranate seed. Your little one keeps growing bigger, now measuring about 2.5 mm (0.1 inch).
Closed for business
An important milestone occurs during 6th week of pregnancy: the neural tube starts to close over what will become your baby’s spinal cord.
Face forward
At 6 weeks, tiny folds of tissue are developing into what will eventually become your little one’s chin, cheeks and jaw. The areas that will be the eyes and nose raise up as bumps, while the ear structure is pushing inwards.
-
Your baby at 8 weeks
Your baby is the size of a raspberry at 8th week of pregnancy.. Your tiny resident is about the size of a marble, weighing in at about 0.25 g and measuring anywhere from 7 to 17 mm (roughly half an inch). At the moment the embryo’s shape is more cubic than round.
This week, hands and feet are forming tiny webbed fingers and toes. The tail that your little one has been sporting starts to disappear.
Tummy works
As the intestines form, a middle loop moves into the umbilical cord because there’s not enough room for it in the abdomen. Even at this early stage, the intestines are carrying waste away from the body. A month from now, when there’s more room in your little one’s belly, the intestines will move out of the cord and back into the abdomen.
-
our baby at 10 weeks
Your baby is the size of a prune at 10th week of pregnancy. Thanks in part to developing bones and lengthening limbs, your baby now weighs about 2.5 g and measures two to three centimetres (around an inch) from crown to rump.
Listen up
At the moment, your baby’s outer ears sit low on the head, but they’ll move to the right spot as the head grows.
Vision quest
Your little one’s eyes are also developing. The basic optical structure is in place and the eyelids are beginning to cover the eyes, which are still on either side of the head.
The whole tooth
Baby’s first tooth won’t break through the gums until several months after birth, but tiny tooth buds are already starting to form.
-
Your baby at 12 weeks
Your baby is the size of a lime during 12th week of pregnancy. This week your baby weighs 8.5-14 g (0.3 to 0.5 oz) and measures around 6.5 cm (2.5 inches).
Nail works
Those little nail beds are sprouting nails, so stand by with some nail clippers. Many babies are actually born with long fingernails that need to be trimmed soon after delivery.
Parts in place
The truly critical period for your little one’s development is coming to a close. By the end of this week, all of the body parts will be there; even the sex organs have developed (although it’s too soon to determine whether you’re carrying a girl or a boy).
Lights out
At 12th week of pregnancy, the eyelids have formed and will close. They’ll remain fused together until late in your second trimester.
-
Your baby at 14 weeks
Your baby is the size of a nectarine during 14th week of pregnancy. Your little one weighs about 57 g (2 oz) and is 8.1 to 10.9 cm (3.2 to 4.3 inches) long.
Smart mouth
Your baby’s mouth can open and close and is starting to make swallowing and sucking motions. Those little facial muscles are really getting a workout!
Set for speech
The o esophagus, windpipe, larynx and vocal cords are all prepped and ready for that first loud wail after birth.
Face formation
By the time you are 14 weeks pregnant the eyes have moved to their proper place at the top of the face, and the ears have moved from the neck to the sides of the head. The jaws have been complete for a while, and the palate is now ‘zipping up’, closing from front to back.
-
Your baby at 15 weeks
Your baby is the size of a small grapefruit during 15th week of pregnancy. weighing anywhere from 48 to 70 g (1.7 to 2.5 oz) and measuring 10.4 to 11.5 cm (4.1 to 4.5 inches) from crown to rump.
Hair today
Your baby’s hair pattern is established during 15th week pregnancy, but this is no guarantee that he or she will be born with a full head of hair. Ultra-fine, soft hair, called lanugo, is also appearing over your little one’s entire body. This downy hair protects the delicate skin from the amniotic fluid and usually disappears just before or after birth.
-
Your baby at 16 weeks pregnant
Your baby is the size of a small apple during 16th week of pregnancy..
Sitting tall
Thanks to strengthening muscles, your little one is working on lifting his or her head and neck from the curved position.
Action figure
Baby is pumping those little arms and legs furiously this week. Sometime between now and 20 weeks, you may be able to feel movement for the first time. That said, your little one is still very small – about 11.5 to 12 cm (4.5 to 4.75 inches) long and just under 85 g (3 oz) – and the cushion of amniotic fluid can make it difficult to feel movement just yet.
Thin-skinned
Underneath that lanugo is a fine layer of skin through which you can see blood vessels already transporting blood. Mouth development continues and baby’s face is capable of moving more and more.
-
Your baby at 17 weeks
Your baby is the size of a pear during 17th week of pregnancy.
Growth spurt
This week, your little one is really starting to put on weight. The fat, also called adipose tissue, helps to keep your baby warm and is important for metabolism since it’s a great source of energy. Your baby might measure up to 17.3 cm (6.8 inches) and weighs nearly 142 g (5 oz) when you are 17 weeks pregnant.
Good reactions
Your little one has been working on two basic reflexes for a few weeks: sucking and swallowing. By the time baby is born, he or she will have nearly all the same reflexes that you do.
Girl or boy?
If you’re going to have a girl, a special set of tissues is developing into the uterus and vagina. If a boy is in your future, these same tissues have started along a different path: the penis has formed and the prostate is beginning to take shape. The newly formed testosterone-secreting cells are key in these developments.
-
Your baby at 19th week of pregnancy
Your baby is the size of a large mango. Your little one is about 17.8 cm (7 inches) long and weighs anywhere from 185 to 226 g (6.5 to eight oz). There’s a definite upswing on the fetal growth chart now, so expect some big gains in the coming weeks.
-
Your baby at 20 weeks pregnant
Your baby is the size of a small Galia melon. Your baby weighs about 212 to 255 g (7.5 to 9 oz) and measures approximately 22 cm (8.5 inches). You could cup this little one in the palm of your hand.
In 20th week of pregnancy, your baby is completely covered in vernier, the creamy substance protecting his or her delicate skin from the amniotic fluid.
-
Making sense
Baby’s brain has been working overtime to develop the nerve centers dedicated to senses. As they come alive, your little one is more responsive to your activity, sounds in the environment and even the taste of the amniotic fluid.
-
Your baby at 21 weeks
Your baby is the size of a large banana. Your baby weighs between 284 and 368 g (10 and 13 oz) and is around 22.8 cm (9 inches) long.
Heart throb
Your baby’s heartbeat is now loud enough to be heard through a simple stethoscope, but the beat can be difficult to distinguish from your own. Listen for the faster rhythm: Your baby’s heartbeat is 120 to 160 beats per minute, about twice as fast as your own.
-
Snooze news
Baby is already starting to sleep and wake in subtle cycles. Ultrasounds show that unborn babies may even settle into a favorite sleeping position.
-
Your baby at 22 weeks
Your baby is the size of a papaya.
Brow know-how
Your baby can now furrow actual eyebrows! These fine hairs are pure white, as they don’t contain any pigment yet. Eyelids have developed too, although they’ll stay fused shut until about 28 weeks.
Inside workout
Now that baby’s arms and legs are proportional (but not their final size), he or she is busy kicking, grasping, flexing and clasping those little hands. Tiny fingernails now completely cover the fingertips–and they keep growing. In fact, you may need to trim your baby’s nails straight after birth to avoid scratching that baby-soft skin.
Prepare for padding
During 22nd week of pregnancy, your baby only has one per cent body fat, but will keep adding on layers of brown fat to help produce and retain body heat.
