Content: Week 9
The eyes, mouth and tongue are forming. The tiny muscles allow the embryo to start moving about. Blood cells are being made by the embryo’s liver. Week 10
The embryo is now known as a fetus and is about 2.5 cm in length. All of the bodily organs are formed. The hands and feet, which previously looked like nubs or paddles, are now evolving fingers and toes. The brain is active and has brain waves. Week 11
Teeth are budding inside the gums. The tiny heart is developing further. Week 12
The fingers and toes are recognisable, but still stuck together with webs of skin.
