The size of fetus is 4 to 5 mm at 5 weeks pregnancy and about half an inch or 1.25 cm at 7 weeks of pregnancy. Fetus grows by geometrical proportion with time. So you can calculate the size of fetus at 6 weeks by mathematical calculation. Say the size be X mm at six weeks. So you have 4 mm, X mm, 25 mm in the series, So X squred equals to 4*25=100. X is equal to 10. So the size of the fetus will be 10 mm at 6 weeks.
At 16 weeks your baby is roughly 5 inches long (11.6 cms) and weighs roughly 4oz (100g)
Eye components start to develop on a fetus at 7 weeks. It isn't until the 23 weeks that all of the eye components are developed. At 26 weeks the eyes can open and close.
6 inches crown to rump 10 inches if streched head to toe
This happens around the 5th week of pregnancy. But will not be able to see this on a scan until your 16 weeks
Check out this link and you can see what a fetus looks like at 16 weeks. Apparantly it can get the hiccups at this stage! http://www.paternityangel.com/Preg_info_zone/WeekByWeek/Weekly16.htm
I belive my doctor said sometimes as soon as 16 weeks
A fetus is a fetus until it is born at which time the umbilical is cut and it becomes a child. An other argument is that the foetus ceases to be a fetus at the time it is a viable human being and can live without the mothers support.
I knew I was having a boy at 14 weeks. It's all dependent on how your baby is positioned. My sister wasn't able to tell what her first kid was because she (the fetus) had her legs crossed during the ultrasound. :-) It's also a lot easier (for obvious reasons) to tell if it's a boy than if it's a girl. I found out that I was having a boy at 15 weeks!!!! But it just depends on how the baby cooperates with the ultrasound tech. The earliest a doctor will have a radiologist determine gender is about 12 weeks. Most wait until week 16 through week 20. Determining gender by radiology is not an exact science. A fetus could be in a position where it is difficult to see the genitals. Your radiologist may attempt to coax the fetus into another position where it is more visible. You could also consume something containing sugar, such as juice, (no caffeine!) which will make the fetus somewhat more active. Amniocentesis, if you must have one completed, is fool-proof in determining gender of the fetus through chromosomal testing.
By 7 weeks gestation the human has every organ present, at 16 weeks the the fetus measures nearly 5 inches (12cm) from head to buttocks. Can hear, dream and make expressions with his/her face.
A baby has a sex long before it is a fetus. at the moment of conception, all DNA the human will have (sex, eye color, hair color, all gentic traits like that) is already present at that moment. Of course, actual reproductive organs come much later, but embryos do have genders
Genitals form between 12-14 weeks, however they are not fully formed until between 16-18 weeks, and of course it depends on if your baby is hiding his stuff or not when they preform the ultrasound.
