The baby which was once referred to as an embryo has now developed into a fetus. Though the changes in mother would not be very noticeable, within her body, a number of hormonal changes are taking place. As this is considered as the end of the first trimester, the chances of miscarriage are reduced significantly. But one needs to be careful with her health.

How is a fetus inside?

The embryo once is now a fetus as the tail it once had has now disappeared. It weighs about fifteen grams and about four centimeters long. The baby has developed neck and head. The main nerves are now developing and the complex network of nerves has started building. The hands are being developed, fingers and toes start taking shape. The baby’s heartbeat can be heard with the use of a stethoscope. The baby can bend knees and elbows, as hands and legs have developed. It can move spontaneously in the amniotic fluid which at this stage cannot be felt by the mother. Genital parts of the baby are developing, but its gender cannot be determined at this point. The bones begin to harden, but the eyelids are still clasped together.
