Arms and legs Between 5 and 6 weeks, your baby sprouts two flipper-like buds that will lengthen and grow into arms, and by 7 weeks, two additional buds form that will become his legs.
Fingers and fingernails, toes and toenails At 8 weeks of pregnancy, your baby has webbing between her fingers and toes. Fetal movement The first movements your baby makes are more like spontaneous twitches and stretches.

The Developing Human. Updated by: John D. Editorial team. Fetal development. Learn how your baby is conceived and how your baby develops inside the mother's womb. Week 1 to 2 The first week of pregnancy starts with the first day of a woman's menstrual period. She is not yet pregnant. During the end of the second week, an egg is released from an ovary. This is when you are most likely to conceive if you have unprotected intercourse. Week 3 During intercourse, sperm enters the vagina after the man ejaculates.
The strongest sperm will travel through the cervix the opening of the womb, or uterus , and into the fallopian tubes. A single sperm and the mother's egg cell meet in the fallopian tube. When the single sperm enters the egg, conception occurs. The combined sperm and egg is called a zygote.
The zygote contains all of the genetic information DNA needed to become a baby. The shell-shaped parts of the baby's ears are forming, and the baby's eyes are visible.
The upper lip and nose have formed. The trunk of the baby's body is beginning to straighten. The beginnings of all key body parts are present, although they are not completely positioned in their final locations. Eyes, ears, arms and legs are identifiable.
Fingers and toes are distinct and have nails. The fetus begins small, random movements, too slight to be felt. The fetus can swallow, the kidneys make urine, and blood begins to form in the bone marrow. For females, ovarian follicles begin forming. For males, the prostate appears.
