This week

The heart has started beating.

  • First heartbeats
    A tiny heart is beating, fast, and can often be seen pulsing on an early scan.
  • Buds for arms and legs
    Small buds appear where the arms and legs will grow.
  • A face takes shape
    Dark spots mark where the eyes will be; tiny folds hint at ears and nose.

Written against the NHS week-by-week guide. A picture, not a measurement: every baby grows at their own pace.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION, FOR THE TWO OF YOU

“What is your biggest hope right now? And your biggest fear?”

Every Sunday, Syncry asks you both one question like this. You each answer in your own words, and the answers become your book.
