Wow...time is flying by!! See what is happening this week! :)
At this stage all the parts of the baby are well formed though very tiny in shape and size. The bones begin to harden but the skin remains thin and transparent. The baby is around 2 1/2 inches long and half an ounce in weight. The baby is now able to swallow and the urinary system functions well at this stage. The important organs are all well formed by now and function normally. From this week the organs will grow in size and start functioning more efficiently. The growth of the baby is phenomenal now and the length is expected to double in the following three weeks. The placenta's blood vessels increase and provide the baby with the nutrients and oxygen required for rapid growth. Tiny tooth buds start appearing under the baby’s gums though each baby develops a little differently. The baby will be able to open and close its fist and will be busy kicking and stretching in the stomach. As the baby’s diaphragm develops he might develop hiccups but you may not feel the movements till a slightly advanced stage.
