What does your baby look like?
About 30 mm from head to bottom. NHS estimate
Head-to-bottom length is also called crown–rump length. Individual measurements and dating vary.
The head becomes rounder
The head is still large relative to the body. The eyelids and outer ears continue developing, and facial features are becoming easier to recognise. [2]
Fingers and toes lengthen
The fingers and toes are becoming longer and less webbed. The elbows can bend as the limbs continue to develop. [2]
More detail in the face
The upper lip, nostrils and jaw are taking shape. Early tooth structures are developing inside the jaw, long before any teeth will appear after birth. [1]
Why do pregnancy guides use different fruit sizes?
Fruit comparisons are visual shortcuts, and fruit varies in size. The video uses a strawberry comparison; the NHS describes a small apricot and a head-to-bottom length of about 30 mm. These are approximate illustrations, not targets for an individual scan. Your care team interprets growth using measurements and pregnancy dating. [1]
