He grew up: the length of his body at 5-6 weeks is about a centimeter, and by the end of the eighth week it is already 2 cm. The weight also increases, by the end of the second month it will already be as much as 3 grams. The embryo more and more begins to resemble a little man, in any case, the beginnings of pens appear in it. They are still very small and short, but even now you can see the elbows, and even tiny fingers. The head is still large and disproportionate to the body. Two flat pigment disks are visible on its sides, which will subsequently move to the front part and become your baby's eyes. The face of the child gradually acquires human features. You can see the mouth, nose and even small nostrils, auricles appear. True, the embryo still has a small tail, but do not worry - it will safely disappear by the 11th week of development.
In the second month of its existence, the embryo begins to make the first voluntary movements, it moves its arms and body, bends and unbends, tilts its head. He lives and is already starting to get used to his mother. Soon he will begin to feel a change in your mood, will worry if you are upset, and rejoice when you are happy.
