"Your baby's now a tiny little blastocyst embedded into the lining of your uterus. The blastocyst is growing and developing thanks to nourishment from your blood system. The inner cell mass is forming the embryo. The ovary which gave up the egg continues to produce progesterone. This ensures the cells on the inside of the uterus support your pregnancy. Each cell builds up and thickens the lining, stimulating the production of hormones.
I'm a little tadpole...
The embryo is about two millimetres long. Tiny, but visible, and shaped something like a tadpole! Your baby's heart begins to beat. And major organs have started to develop. Facial features are starting to form too. Nostrils are becoming distinct and the earliest version of the part of the eyes that is sensitive to light (retinas) is forming. Wow!"
A - ma -ZING!
