The child
Your embryo is now five weeks old and measures approximately 0.4 inches (1 cm) from crown to rump. The eyes, ears and nostrils have formed. Most of the internal organs—the heart, brain, lungs and kidneys—have taken on their basic shape, and the heart’s capacity has strengthened.
The bones in the arms and legs are hardening and lengthening considerably. The joints in the body are starting to form. A couple of external folds of skin form the external reproductive organs, but at this stage both boys and girls look the same.
Mother
Your uterus is growing more and more, and your belly could feel a bit swollen—are your clothes feeling a bit tighter around the waist?
You may now be having milky vaginal discharge. This is entirely normal as long as the discharge is odorless and is not accompanied by itching.
