Week-by-Week Fetal Development Week 13 This week sees the neck fully formed and well able to support the head movements. The face has also taken complete shape as the mouth, nose and external ears are fully developed. Your baby will be fully formed in its entirety over the next seven days but will not be able to survive outside the womb. This is because even though all the internal organs have been formed they are not yet functionally matured to perform as they are supposed to outside the womb. In fact, the next twenty-seven weeks will see the fetus grow in size while its vital organs mature to full capacity to aid its survival outside the womb. Right now he is quite happy floating in the amniotic sac where he still has plenty of room as he is just three inches or 7.5cm long and weighs about one ounce or 28g.
