From conception to about 14 weeks, all fetuses are essentially androgynous. By the time the testosterone bath (which turns the fetus into male) begins, the nipples are already formed.
On a sidenote, about 30 years ago, I adopted a couple of kittens. The Other Half was napping comfortably on the floor and one of the kittens wandered in to see what was going on. It spotted what must have looked like the handy faucets on O.H.'s chest, crawled aboard and began chowing down.
I've never before or since seen that kind of expression on my rudely awakened husband's face. The image of him holding an interrupted kitten aloft while glaring ominously at it is something I'll always wish I'd been able to record. :rof
