14 weeks - Muscles lengthen and become
organized. The mother will soon start feeling the first flutters of the
unborn child kicking and moving within.
15 weeks - The fetus has an adult's taste buds and may be able to
savor the mother's meals.
16 weeks - Five and a half inches tall and only six ounces in weight,
eyebrows, eyelashes and fine hair appear. The child can grasp with his
hands, kick, or even somersault.
20 weeks - The child can hear and recognize her mother's voice. Though
still small and fragile, the baby is growing rapidly and could possibly
survive if born at this stage. Fingernails and fingerprints appear. Sex
organs are visible. Using an ultrasound device, the doctor can tell if the
child is a girl or a boy. The one on the left is a baby girl.
