Content: Your doctor will determine the size of your baby by taking a measurement during the ultrasound. The measurement is "referred to as 'crown-rump length' which is basically the distance from the top of your baby's head to his buttocks," according to Women's Healthcare Topics. This will seem very small, but during week four and five of fetal development, your baby only just over a millimeter long, so she is growing bit by bit. Growth and Development of Fetus at Six Weeks
Your baby's heart should beat about 100 to 140 beats per minute, and many of your babies features are well on their way to being fully formed by week six of your pregnancy, according to Women's Healthcare Topics. The position of the nose has shifted into the right place, and dark spots are starting to form where your baby's nostrils will eventually be. Dark spots have also formed where your baby's eyes will be. Small pits on the sides of the head are visible where the ears will develop. Right now your baby's arms and legs are tiny buds, but they are continuing to grow and stretch out. Soon enough your baby will be moving on her own. Your baby's mouth, tongue, and vocal cords are starting to form.
