+ Go to: Previous storyprevious story | next storyNext story
Your baby is now 1/3 of an inch long and weighs about one gram. Although he's tiny, little fingers and toes are beginning to form. An early tongue and twenty little baby teeth buds are in his mouth, and he now has nostrils.

Here's a closer look at what your baby may look like right around six weeks after conception, or at eight weeks menstrual age.
