Here is what your second-trimester prenatal visits will cover
At 19 weeks pregnant your baby is now close to 6 inches from crown to rump about the size of an heirloom tomato, but only weighs about 7 ounces.
By the time you are 18 weeks pregnant, your baby’s bones are beginning to ossify, as cartilage hardens into bone. If you could see a picture of your baby now, he would look more like an infant — and less like the alien of just a few weeks ago.
At 17 weeks pregnant, your baby is close to 5 inches long and weighs 3.5 ounces.
At 16 weeks pregnant you may feel your baby move this week — but don’t worry if you do not. Fetal movement — known as “quickening” — is normally detectable by the mother any time between the 16th and the 20th week of pregnancy.
At 15 weeks pregnant, if you could see your child’s hands, you would be astonished by how perfect they look compared to just a few weeks ago.
At 14 weeks pregnant your baby is now about the size of a lemon — from 3 1/2 inches to 4 inches from crown to rump — and weighs about one ounce.
At 13 weeks pregnant your fetus looks increasingly like a baby. Now his eyes are closer together at the front of his face, and his ears are also almost in the right position.
