Your baby's development at 0 - 12 weeks

image of advisor

You might not be able to see it, but there’s an awful lot of development going on in there! In the first trimester your baby goes from being a collection of cells, or an ‘embryo’, to having the beginnings of a heart, brain, bones, muscles and lungs. It’s wonderful to think that by 12 weeks, they’ll even have a face with recognisable features. If you have any questions you’d like to ask, or just want to share your excitement, feel free!
