You may not look pregnant at this point but your embryo's heart, no bigger than a poppyseed, has already begun to beat and pump blood. The heart is dividing into chambers and will find a more regular rhythm soon. The embryo itself is about a quarter of an inch/ half a centimetre long and looks more like a tadpole than a human. It undergoes a growth spurt this week.

Major organs, including the kidneys and liver, begin to grow. The neural tube, which connects the brain and spinal cord, will close this week. The embryo's upper and lower limb buds begin to sprout -- these will form your baby's arms and legs. The intestines are developing and the appendix is in place.

Below the opening that will later form your baby's mouth, small folds exist where the neck and the lower jaw eventually develop. As early as this week, facial features are already forming. Nostrils are becoming distinct and the earliest version of the eyes' retinas are forming. Find out how much folic acid you need.

try registering for a weekly reminder of what your baby is doing from: www.ivillage.com, www.babycenter.com, www.pregnancyweekly.com or something similar. Every week they'll send you a detailed update of what your baby and your body is going through that week. It's alway exciting to get those emails and be reminded of how big your baby's getting. Congrats and good luck!

it would resemble a little bean....... but so small you cannot see it yet. arm and leg buds grow in later, like a tadpole.
