All About Baby
Around this time the baby's ears pop from her head, and baby can now sense sounds. After all, she has plenty to listen to in utero! She's accustomed to the strong beating of mother's heart, blood rushing through mother's veins, and mother's stomach grumbling. She can also discern sounds outside the uterus, like family voices and music. However, according to the Mayo Clinic, whether she can distinguish the sound of their voices versus other sounds is not yet clear.
On average, most moms are feeling baby movements by week 17. Kick, little one, kick!
This week mother's little one weighs in at around 5 ounces and stretches to just over 5 inches (crown to rump). She is about the size of a red onion.
