Week-by-Week Fetal Development Week 11 During the course of this week, all the baby's internal organs will have completely developed and most of them will begin to function. From this week on they will only grow in size so by the end of week eleven your little one is safe from developing any sort of congenital abnormality or being affected or harmed by most infections and a few drugs. Over the next seven days he will look more and more like a real human baby, as we know it. His face is taking shape as it grows more rounded and the back of the head has grown so the eyes can take up their natural frontal position. The ears are flatter but still have a long way to go for their final shape. But his limbs are still quite thin and short and his head quite large for the rest of the body. And you can actually see his elbows, knees ankles and wrists. The fingers and toes seem to be completely ready as they have separated out and are clearly defined. The heart continues to pump blood
to all the internal organs including the umbilical cord that supplies the
blood to the placenta, which is growing simultaneously.
