Child length: approximately 0.16inches (about the size of a sesame seed)
Child weight: less than 0.01 oz
At this stage: Formed nucleus of the brain, primordia of arms and legs. Intestines and blood vessels are in place. Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. Looks more than a tiny tadpole than a human. The baby's heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm.
This week, in fact, the heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.
Days left to birth: 243
Due date: 11 November 2013

Note:
Today, I have started taking prenatal vitamin and drinking maternal milk.
Concerns:
