WHATS DEVELOPING THIS NEXT WEEK...

Week 15: Skin begins to form

Your baby at week 15 (13 weeks after conception)
Your baby's skin starts out nearly transparent. Eyebrows and scalp hair may make an appearance. For babies destined to have dark hair, the hair follicles will begin producing pigment.
The bone and marrow that make up your baby's skeletal system are continuing to develop this week. Your baby's eyes and ears now have a baby-like appearance, and the ears have almost reached their final position.

Face: Thanks to brain impulses, your baby's facial muscles are getting a workout as it squints, frowns, and grimaces.
Arm: Your baby's arms have lengthened; by the end of this week, they'll be in proportion with the rest of it's body.
Lanugo: Your baby is starting to develop an ultra-fine downy covering of hair all over the body; this is called lanugo.
Uterus: The top of your uterus has risen above your pelvic bone and may be pushing out your tummy a bit.

Week 14: Hormones gear up
The effect of hormones becomes apparent this week. For boys, the prostate gland is developing. For girls, the ovaries move from the abdomen into the pelvis.
Meconium — which will become your baby's first bowel movement after birth — is made in your baby's intestinal tract. By the end of the week, the roof of your baby's mouth will be completely formed.

Week 13: Baby flexes and kicks
You can't feel it yet, but your baby can move in a jerky fashion — flexing the arms and kicking the legs. This week, your baby might even be able to put a thumb in his or her mouth.
Your baby's eyelids are fused together to protect his or her developing eyes. Tissue that will become bone is developing around your baby's head and within the arms and legs. Tiny ribs may soon appear.

Your baby at week 11 (nine weeks after conception)
From now until your 20th week of pregnancy — the halfway mark — your baby will increase his or her weight 30 times and will about triple in length. To make sure your baby gets enough nutrients, the blood vessels in the placenta are growing larger and multiplying.
Your baby is now officially described as a fetus. Your baby's ears are moving up and to the side of the head this week. By the end of the week, your baby's external genitalia will develop into a recognizable penis or clitoris and labia majora.
