Week 6- Grain of Rice

Only one more week until we set eyes on your for the first time at our first Dr. appointment!

Your Baby
These first six weeks went by pretty quickly! You’ve only known that you’re pregnant for a week or two, but some amazing things are going on inside with your tiny, developing baby. At this stage, if you are carrying twins, their development will be the same as with one baby. Although your baby’s body is just a head and tail, little eyes, mouth and ears are growing. And those arms and legs that will be moving around in the coming months are only tiny buds. Those little buds will soon turn into flipper-like hands and feet. If you’re curious about the size of your little one, you only need to compare him or her to something about the size of a grain of rice. It is at this stage that the neural tube closes in your baby’s back. Even though your baby’s heart is beating regularly, it is still too soon to hear.
