First Trimester
In just four weeks, the heart, brain, and spinal cord begin
to form. Major organs like the stomach and intestines are
already forming, as well as the eyes and ears.
The first trimester is a period of tremendous growth. Within
6 weeks, the unborn child's heart is beating and brain
activity can be recorded.
In 8 weeks, all the major organs have begun to develop. The
unborn child's facial features become recognizable,
including the nose, lips, and tongue. After 10 weeks, the
unborn child has enough muscle control to make its hand into
a fist.
By the close of the first trimester, all of the organs and
body parts have been formed, including the nerve fibers that
transmit pain signals to the brain.
