Accelerated Growth: Your Baby in the Sixth Week of Pregnancy
- Baby size 0.6 cm
- About the size of a lentil
In the sixth week of pregnancy, your baby continues to grow rapidly. The embryo has increased in size and now shows more defined structures. The head is prominent and the limb buds are more developed, beginning to form the future arms and legs. The heart, which has already started beating, is visible as a small bump. This is a crucial period in which the body's fundamental organs and systems are in full formation, preparing for more complex development in the following weeks.
