Baby's Growth and Development at 8 Weeks Pregnant

When you're between 7 and 8 weeks pregnant, your baby's body parts and proportions continue to develop and change quickly. Here's what's going on during your 8th week of pregnancy:

  • At 8 weeks pregnant, your baby is more than a half an inch long — around the length of a lima bean.
  • Your baby's tiny fingers and toes develop.
  • His arms and legs grow longer.
  • By the 8th week of your pregnancy, his wrists, elbows, and ankles are visible.
  • His eyelids form and ears, upper lip, and nose tip become more defined.
