13-week-old twin foetuses, 3D ultrasound scan. At this stage, during the 13th week of development, the foetuses measure around 7.5 centimetres in length. At around this time, the brain significantly increases in mass and becomes structurally developed. Birth occurs at around 38-40 weeks. Ultrasound scanning uses the reflected echoes of high-frequency sound waves to image an unborn baby. This safe, non-invasive method is used routinely in pregnancy to assess the growth and health of the developing foetus, and detect any abnormalities. | |
