During this stage, major internal organs and limbs will start developing. In addition, the baby develops facial features such as the mouth, tongue, and nose. The eyelids are closed and won’t open for a couple of months. Baby’s ears take shape. Your little one starts making movements, but you will not be able to feel these yet.
