Your embryo may be the size of a mere poppy seed, but trust us, uber-important developments are already under way. This week the embryo splits into two parts. One half will become the placenta, a special tissue that delivers must-haves like nutrients and oxygen to your baby throughout your entire pregnancy. In the other half, the embryo itself continues to grow, and a sheet of cells has just begun to create the neural tube, where your baby's brain, spinal cord, and backbone will ultimately form. Taking a folic acid-packed prenatal supplement -- look for one with at least 400 micrograms per pill -- helps ensure that these organs develop properly.
