Baby Development

See Your Baby Grow, Week by Week – With Confidence and Care

Our baby development scans allow you to track growth, wellbeing, and progress in a calm, supportive environment — giving you reassurance and a beautiful bonding experience at every visit.

3 Weeks – The First Signs of Life

Your baby begins forming the foundations of vital organs, and a tiny heartbeat starts to flicker — the very first rhythm of new life.

4 Weeks – Tiny Foundations Take Shape

Your baby’s organs begin to form — the liver, kidneys, lungs, and muscles start developing, while the delicate spine takes shape as the neural tube closes.

5 Weeks – Growing Little Features

Your baby’s brain and organs continue to form, while the umbilical cord appears to provide nourishment. Tiny details like the upper lip, nose, and the first hints of arms, legs, and nails begin to take shape.

6 Weeks – Taking Shape

Your baby’s brain develops rapidly as the placenta begins to form. Tiny facial muscles start to appear, along with the first delicate outlines of little hands and fingers.

7 Weeks – Little Movements Begin

Your baby’s circulation connects with the placenta, supporting steady growth. Tiny arms start to form, and the first signs of eyes and ears begin to take shape.

8 Weeks – Perfecting the Details

Your baby’s major organs, including the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys, are now formed. Tiny facial features — eyes, nose, ears, and lips — come together, giving your little one a more defined face.

14 Weeks – Growing Stronger Every Day

Your baby’s bones are becoming stronger, and the first soft strands of hair begin to appear. The reproductive organs continue to develop - with the prostate forming in boys and the ovaries moving into place in girls. 🌸

18 Weeks – Awakening to the World

Your baby’s immune system is developing, and gentle sleep–wake patterns start to appear. They can now hear sounds and respond to the world around them — a beautiful sign of growing awareness.

24 Weeks – Full of Character

Your baby’s bone marrow and spleen begin producing blood cells, and tiny taste buds start to develop. Their face is now beautifully formed — complete with delicate eyelashes and eyebrows visible on scans.

32 Weeks – Getting Ready for the World

Your baby’s skin becomes smoother and softer as little hands and feet grow plumper. The lungs mature with surfactant production, and the endocrine system begins releasing important hormones — all preparing your baby for life outside the womb.

36 Weeks – Almost Ready to Meet You

Your baby continues to gain weight as soft layers of fat develop beneath the skin. The skull bones stay flexible with tiny gaps (fontanelles) to aid a safe birth — a sure sign your little one is nearly ready to arrive.

39 Weeks – Ready for the Big Arrival

Your baby’s brain is now fully developed, and their eyes can focus at about 30cm — the perfect distance to see your face. The fine fuzz has disappeared, replaced by soft hair on their head. Your little one is ready to meet you.
