This week, the baby is approximately the size of a fig.

"Your baby is now about the size of a fig, and is busy moving around inside your uterus. This week is the beginning of a three-week period when your baby will double in length and will go through a growth spurt. If you could touch the little fingers you could feel that the tiny fingernails are beginning to form. At some point during this week blood will begin circulating between the uterus and fetus and the placenta will start functioning. Your baby looks more human now than ever before with a visible neck, straighter back and thicker skin. The head is almost as big as the rest your baby's body. The risk of congenital defects becomes less now as the vital organs are fully formed and are less likely to be affected by outside influences."
