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!
