What Does a Fetus Look Like at 5 Weeks 5 Days?

At five weeks the embryo is still very small but growing quickly! Picture a small orange seed or a grain of rice. At this stage, your little one could be between 0.05 and 0.10 inches long, with a shape similar to that of a tiny tadpole.

What does a 5 week 5 day fetus look like?
