Now that he already has arms and legs, the cartilage and bones of his limbs and body are developing. His fingers and toes are more shaped, although they are still short and have yet to reach their full development. Since the abdomen has started to grow, now there is more room for the intestines which are tunneling through the umbilical cord, where they were housed till now, to his little body.

His facial features are progressing. The eyes little by little are settling themselves in their final position. And inside the eye the basic structure that will allow it to see is starting to form. Similarly, a little tongue is emerging inside its mouth that will develop in the following days.

Your baby now measures between 0.08 and 0.16 inches or between 2 and 3 millimeters. In some cases it’s possible to detect a heart beat at this time, with a device to perform an ultrasound
