By now your baby measures longer than 2.5 cm.
By the end of the 1st trimester, his/her body will grow to about 7.6 cm — around the length of a kiwi fruit. This measurement doesn't count arms and legs, because in the 1st trimester, he is measured from the top of the head to the bottom of the rump.
His embryonic tail, (yes, he has a tail, located at the bottom of his spinal cord), has disappeared.
At 10 weeks, his ears approach their final form. His teeth buds emerge, and his eyelids develop further.
His testes start producing testosterone around the 10th week.
Tiny fingers and toes, which were previously webbed, are now fully separated.
