Week-by-Week Fetal Development Week 8 This is an important week as most
of the internal organs like the heart, brain, liver, lungs, kidneys and
guts have developed in their basic forms even though they have not taken
their final shape as yet. The next eight days are crucial for the development
of the eyes and the inner ear, which is responsible for balance and hearing.
You can just about see the outer ears taking shape although they are not
fully grown as yet.
The heartbeat has regularized and
the pumping capacity has increased. You can see a network of blood vessels
running through this little body through the transparent paper-thin skin.
The face is fairly visible though the head seems disproportionately large
in comparison to the body, which looks like a fish. Your baby is just one
inch or 2.5cm long. And even though this tiny creature moves around a lot,
you will not be able to feel him as yet.
