Wondering what your baby's getting up to in there? Find out what's happening at each stage of your pregnancy
Your grape-sized baby has passed the embryo stage and can be officially called a foetus! And he’s really made progress – his spinal cord, bones and intestines are forming, his arms and legs have lengthened and there’s definition where his knees, elbows, wrists and ankles will be. His little chin will be tucked in and attached to his chest and – Einstein alert – his brain is developing into two different spheres. But despite this growth spurt he weighs a mere 1 gram .
Your baby will also be improving the dexterity in his hands and fingers, which means he’ll be able to grasp things in his fist and even play with his umbilical cord by pulling on it. He may suck his thumb and play with his hands and feet. Just think, not long until he’s gripping your finger in his little fist.
