From the Baby Centre app - week 6
This week's major developments: The nose, mouth and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months' time are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversized head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. Her emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and the arms and legs by protruding buds.
Your baby's heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute, almost twice as fast as yours. Blood is beginning to course through her body. The intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to the lungs has appeared. The pituitary gland, which later on will secrete hormones, is forming, as are the rest of your baby's brain, muscles and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil.
