It notes that by 8 weeks most organs are functioning, by 12 weeks facial features and limbs have developed, by 16 weeks the fetus can move and cry, and by 20 weeks it can dream, hear outside noises, and has strong bones. It states that by 24 weeks the fetus could potentially survive if born, and weighs about two pints. Later stages see the fetus opening its eyes, listening to the mother's voice, and feeling crowded in the womb waiting to be born.
