What's Happening This Week
- Heart beating Baby's tiny heart has started beating, though it's too small to hear yet.
- Neural tube closes Brain and spine form a closed tube this week.
- Early kidneys Kidney and circulatory system are just beginning.
Tip Of The Week
- Folic acid is protecting this stage — keep taking it daily.
- The dark area you see is the fluid filling the gestational sac.
- Eventually, this fluid will be replaced by a sac containing the amniotic fluid.
- This will be your baby's home for the next few months.
- The white circle within the fluid is called the yolk sac, which plays an essential role in providing necessary nutrients for your baby-to-be's growth.
- Adjacent to the yolk sac, the little + marks show a very tiny embryo.
- The sonographer measures the length of the embryo to confirm or update your estimated due date, or to evaluate the embryo's growth.
