Ba-bum,
ba-bum. It's way too quiet for you to hear, but your baby's tiny heart
has started to beat. That heart sits inside a body that's now almost
1/2-inch long from the top of the head to the rump — about as wide as a
pencil eraser. Baby still looks like a tadpole but that won't last for
long. Human features are starting to emerge, including two eyes that
come complete with lids. The lungs and digestive system are also
starting to branch out, forming the organs that will help your baby
breathe and eat in just a few months.
WEEK 7
Even
though you're only in your second month, your baby's body is already
forming every organ it will need — including the heart, kidneys, liver,
lungs, and intestines. Buds are sprouting from baby's growing arms.
Right now they look like paddles, but eventually they'll form hands and
feet. Your baby is attached to you by an umbilical cord. Through this
connection, you'll provide food, and filter away your baby's wastes
until you deliver.
WEEK 8
You
might not look pregnant yet, but you probably feel it! If the morning
sickness hasn't set in, you're at least feeling more tired than usual.
Inside your uterus, your baby is developing at a rapid pace. In fact, he
or she has officially graduated from embryo to fetus! If you peeked
inside right now, you'd see the beginnings of a face on your bean-sized
baby. You could make out two eyes, a nose, ears, and an upper lip. Your
baby's body is also starting to straighten out.
