Your Baby: Measuring Up
It's getting increasingly difficult to measure the embryo's total length, legs included, because of the way it's curled up in your uterus. An easier and more common measurement is from crown to rump -- the distance from the top of the head to the buttocks - which is about 1.57 inches. The embryo's estimated weight is about 1/5 ounce. All the major body organs have begun to form, as have the bones of the skeleton. Its eyelids are growing and the outer ears are forming. Usually, after 10 weeks, fetal dopplers can find the baby's heartbeats, and ultrasound can show the baby's body movements (wiggling).
