9 – 12 WEEKS PREGNANCY

The baby’s head is still large and the chin has not developed yet. The face is slowly forming. The eyes are bigger and more obvious, and they have some colour (pigment) in them. They have a mouth and a tongue with taste buds.

The hands and feet are developing. Ridges show where the fingers and toes will be, but they not have separated out yet. The major internal organs continue to develop. These include the heart, brain, lungs, kidneys and gut.

At 9 weeks of pregnancy, the embryo has grown to about 22mm long and is about the size of a grape.
