Once firmly in a place these cells divide splitting into groups. Half of it will become the baby either he/she, half of it goes into becoming the placenta. Placenta is a life line for the baby as it plays a great role even in food transmission from you to the baby.
Formation of amniotic sac takes place during this week. Which later turns into baby’s digestive tract. It has three layers inner one called as endoderm will develop into digestive system, liver and lungs of the baby. The middle layer is called mesoderm which develops into heart, sex organs, bones, kidneys and muscles. The outer layer ectoderm forms the nervous system, hair, skin and eyes of the baby.
