8 weeks pregnant


I signed up for a weekly update and decide to add these updates to my blog (Thanks Nancy for the idea).


Fetal development - 8 weeks pregnant


Your embryo is now called a fetus, which means "offspring". Your uterus expands to accommodate its new resident, which now measures approximately five-eights of an inch / 1.6 centimetres. Many changes take place this week -- the embryonic tail is gone, and all organs, muscles, and nerves are beginning to function. The hands now bend at the wrist, and the feet begin to lose their webbed appearance. Eyelids are beginning to cover the eyes.
