Week 8

• Your baby's crown to rump measurement is about 0.56 to 0.8 inches (14 to 20mm).
• Your baby's face has a recognizable shape with eyelids and the tip of a nose with formed nostrils, though his head is still very large compared to the rest of his body.
• All major organs are now formed and in place, though they still need to mature.
• A tongue has already formed. The ears are forming both internally and externally.
• The arms and legs extend forward and shoulders, elbows, hips and knees are detectable.
• Knees and elbows have begun to form on the limbs.
• Tiny fingers and toes are starting to appear at the tips of your baby's developing limbs and the arms may be slightly flexed at the elbows and wrists.
• Your baby is moving around a lot, moving his legs and flexing his spine, but you are unable to feel it at this point.
• Your baby's genitals have begun development, though they are still difficult to identify.
