Your embryo may be the size of a mere poppy seed, but trust us, uber-important developments are already under way. This week the embryo splits into two parts. One half will become the placenta, a special tissue that delivers must-haves like nutrients and oxygen to your baby throughout your entire pregnancy. In the other half, the embryo itself continues to grow, and a sheet of cells has just begun to create the neural tube, where your baby's brain, spinal cord, and backbone will ultimately form. Taking a folic acid-packed prenatal supplement -- look for one with at least 400 micrograms per pill -- helps ensure that these organs develop properly.

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.

Is it normal for only the gestational sac to show and not the yolk sac or the fetus?
When i was 5 weeks they did a ultrasound after having a positive home pregnancy test and positive blood test. They said according to the size of sac i was only 3 weeks and they didnt see a embrio. Maybe a false pregnancy or the fetus stopped growing i went a week later to another doctor and they detected a embrio and the sac had grown in one week i will be four months so just give it a little time and maybe see another doctor. Good luck!
