FACTS: At only 8 weeks the foetus (baby) will have completed organogenesis, so its organs will have formed, including the heart. A baby will have its own detectable heartbeat at 10 weeks at the latest and begin to move more and more until it reaches 12 weeks, when it will have fully formed fingers and early genitalia. At 16 weeks, you can clearly see the eyes, nose, ears and mouth fully formed and it will have unique fingerprints. At 18 weeks, the baby will have connected the thalamus to the cortex, meaning that it can feel pain. Then at 20 weeks the baby will be able to pull facial expressions, suck its thumb and also be able to dream (REM detected) when asleep, no doubt wondering what life shall bring it, if allowed to live.
