During your 8th week or By the end of your second month of pregnancy, your baby is about the size of a pinto bean and is approximately 14 to 20 mm long. If this is your first pregnancy, you still probably will not be showing yet. However, if this is not your first pregnancy you might be able to tell that you are pregnant. You will notice a slight change in how your clothes fit and your doctor can tell that your uterus is larger than normal. Before you were pregnant, your uterus was about the size of your fist. However, by 6 weeks of pregnancy, your uterus has grown to the size of a grapefruit! Your baby is developing at an amazing rate during these early weeks. Eyelid folds and ears are forming. Your baby's eyes are still very wide apart on the sides of her head, but will eventually center themselves out. The tip of the nose is actually present at this time as well. On ultrasound you can see that the aortic and pulmonary valves of the heart are present. The tubes that lead from the throat to lungs are branching and your baby's torso is getting longer and beginning to straighten out. Just a few weeks ago, your baby's arms were tiny buds. Now the elbows are actually present and the arms and legs extend forward and have grown longer. Fingers and toes are becoming visible also.

Yes, she looked like a baby now at 8 weeks pregnant. Even she does not look like a baby on 1st week, she is breathing already, she has life and everything. Let me share to you my pregnancy experience. When I know that I was pregnant, starting day 1 I am talking to my baby all the time. I am singing aloud and reading him books, too. Whenever I listen to music, one earphone is on my womb and the other on my ears. Now that he is 3 years old, he speaks clearly even in his younger years, love to dance and sing, know how to play and operate the computer.
