How your baby grows, month by month
The same growth chart that greets families on our OPD wall — from the first few cells to a baby ready to meet you.
Month 1
The pregnancy settles in and the very first cells begin to divide.
Month 2
The tiny heart starts to beat and the brain and spine begin to form.
Month 3
Fingers, toes and tiny nails take shape as the first trimester closes.
Month 4
Facial features settle in and the first gentle movements begin.
Month 5
Your baby can hear your voice and settles into a sleep and wake rhythm.
Month 6
The eyes open and the lungs practise steady breathing movements.
Month 7
Rapid brain growth begins and your baby responds to light and sound.
Month 8
Weight builds quickly and most babies turn to a head-down position.
Month 9
Fully formed and ready — most babies arrive between week 37 and 41.
A general guide only. Every pregnancy grows at its own pace — your doctor’s advice always comes first.
