This month, rapid development takes place:
Week 5: The embryo grows to approximately 5–7mm. The heart starts beating at a steady rate, and key organs begin to form.
Week 6: The embryo measures about 10mm and limb buds appear. Early facial features are visible, and the heart is fully functional.
Week 7: The baby’s face becomes more distinct, and the early formation of the digestive system begins.
Week 8: By this point, the baby’s facial features are more defined, and the embryo is now officially called a fetus.
