Week 15

My Baby This Week

Your baby’s length and weight this week should be around 10 cm and 70 grams. He can move all his limbs. He can also sense light, even though his eyes are shut. Try shining a torchlight on your tummy and you’ll see him try to swim way from the light! Taste buds are beginning to form.

If you don’t know whether it’s a boy or girl at this stage, ask your doctor to perform an ultrasound to find out. Hopefully, your baby will be in a position that makes viewing of the genitals possible. That’s how your gynecologist will be able to tell his or her sex.

What’s Happening To My Body?

Has the realization that you’re pregnant set in yet? It can be both wonderful and scary. If you experience mood swings, it’s because of your hormones.

Many expectant mothers also report becoming forgetful and uncoordinated. If it’s happening to you, don’t worry – it’ normal! What you can do to help the situation is to relax and avoid strenuous or stressful activity.
