Week-by-Week Fetal Development Week 9 Your baby is actually beginning to look like a baby now as it takes on a more mature appearance. But the head is still at an angle as it is bent forward on to the chest. The eyes are completely developed and would look real if it were not for the membrane eyelids that still form a protective cover over them. The nose has also taken shape by this stage and the hands, feet and limbs are growing quite fast. The fingers and toes too are in the process of taking their final shape. The next seven days will see the
growth of a muscle that will serve to separate the chest cavity from the
abdominal cavity. This is the baby's diaphragm, or the muscle that enables
your little one to breathe.
