Tiny buds for arms and legs appear. Dark spots mark where eyes will form, and small depressions show where ears will develop. The heart is beating at around 110 beats per minute and is beginning to develop its four chambers. The jaw, cheeks, and chin are starting to form. The embryo has a curved, tadpole-like shape with a visible tail that will disappear in the coming weeks.
Nausea and morning sickness may intensify this week as hCG levels continue to rise. You may feel exhausted, even after a full night of sleep - your body is doing extraordinary work building the placenta. Breast tenderness, bloating, and mood swings are common. Some people notice their sense of smell becomes very acute, making certain foods or smells unbearable.

About 4mm, roughly the size of a lentil. Arm and leg buds are forming and the heart is beating. Despite being tiny, development is happening at an incredible pace.
