your baby at 8 weeks


Although it's only six weeks since your baby was conceived (because pregnancy is dated from the start of your last menstrual period), all the main internal organs are already in place. Of course, there's a lot of development left to happen, but the rudiments of all the vital body parts are now present and correct.
