Stella Dantas, MD OB/GYN: In the early second trimester, which is about 13 to 16 weeks, your baby is starting to develop more rapidly. All the vital structures are in place, they're still too small to be evaluated by ultrasound, which is why we do your anatomy scan a little bit later in the second trimester, but if you were to look on ultrasound, you could easily see the baby's heart, you can see the baby's eye sockets, you can see the baby's mouth, you can see all the bony structures of the baby developing.
Kevin Overbeck, MD OB/GYN: All of the organs have formed now, so now it's just growing, and growing, and rapidly.
Stella Dantas, MD OB/GYN: If you saw the baby on an ultrasound screen, it would really, you know, look like a baby to you, it's very exciting.
