Your baby
This week your baby is having quite the growth spurt almost
doubling in weight. Your baby is now about the size of an avocado; 4-5 inches
long and weighs 3-5 ounces. Your baby
definitely looks like a baby now!
Now that the bones in your baby’s ears are in place they can
begin to hear your voice, many mums and dads-to-be find talking and singing to
the baby a lovely way to bond. The facial muscles are developed enough for your
baby to make a few expressions such as frowns and squints; this is your baby
beginning to engage with you and the outside world.
You
You are probably starting to feel a lot better in yourself
as you settle into the second trimester of pregnancy with less nausea and fewer
mood swings.
Soon you will begin to feel the moment of pregnancy all
mums-to-be look forward to; feeling your baby move. Some feel their baby
fluttering as early as 16 weeks but it can be up to 21 weeks until you feel
anything as every baby is different and does things in their own time. A lot of
mums find that if they lie down still it becomes easier to feel their baby
moving.
