Second Trimester

16 weeks: Now five and a half inches long and weighing only six ounces your baby can grasp with his hands, kick and even do a somersault. Eye lashes and very fine hair begins to appear. At this stage your baby already has the same taste buds found in an adult and may be able to taste the food his mother has eaten.

18 Weeks: A great picture of a baby sucking his thumb in his mother’s womb. Most people would be surprised to know and see all the things their baby can do at this early point. He is fully formed and all his organs are developed. Now he just needs time to grow.

20 Weeks: Your child can hear and recognizes his mother’s voice. Finger nails and fingerprints appear. Sex organs are evident and this is when your doctor will usually perform an ultrasound that can tell you your child’s sex. It is also the time when most women feel that first kick inside of them, an experience called the “quickening.” Up to now the baby was too small to feel even though he had been active for several weeks prior.
