Pregnancy Week 7
Welcome to the start of week seven! Your baby is now called an embryo, is at 4 weeks gestation and measures about 1/4 inch. The embryo continues to develop rapidly -- the rate of growth is phenomenal really. The embryo resembles a little tadpole now; with a head, arm and leg 'buds', a trunk and a tail. He is curled up with his head on his chest.
