This is when the baby's brain, spinal cord, heart and other organs begin to form. The embryo is now made of three layers. The top layer â the ectoderm â will give rise to your baby's outermost layer of skin, central and peripheral nervous systems, eyes, inner ears, and many connective tissues. Your baby's heart and a primitive circulatory system will form in the middle layer of cells â the mesoderm.
In the last few weeks of the first trimester, the embryo really starts to take shape. The facial structures begin to form and become recognizable. The neural tube, which will form the brain and spinal cord, develops. Little buds emerge and grow into arms and legs. Around week 8, the embryo becomes a fetus. The kidneys, liver, brain, and lungs are all beginning to function. The fingers and toes are separate and the external genitalia are formed. At 12 weeks, the fetus is about three inches long and weighs about one ounce.
