The fifth week of pregnancy is when your baby's heart, spinal cord, brain and other organs start to develop. By week six, your baby's heart will start to pump blood and the neural tube along his/her back starts to close. During the seventh week of pregnancy, your baby's face and brain begin to develop rapidly, along with his/her eye lenses and arms. By eight weeks, your baby's legs and arms and fingers will start to form. His/her upper lip and nose start to develop and your baby's ears, eyes and nipples will become visible. By the end of the first trimester, your baby's neck, head, eyelids and genitals will start to develop. By week thirteen, your baby will be discharging urine into the amniotic fluid and his/her intestines will have moved into the abdomen. In the next few weeks, your baby's scalp, hair and skeleton will begin to develop. His/her sex will become apparent during this period. In your eighteenth week of pregnancy, your baby may be able to hear things around him/her like the beating of your heart and the blood moving through the umbilical cord.
