Week 20

Drawing of your baby in week 20

About the size ofa corn cob

Butterflies in your belly! Your baby is now 25 cm and 320 grams.

Halfway there! Your baby kicks, waves and shoots off in all directions. Not everyone feels their baby move straight away. If you have not felt the movements yet, it will probably not be long now. Is this not your first baby? Then you may have felt your little one much earlier, even from fourteen weeks! The movements in your belly feel like little pops or the fluttering of a butterfly. Once you have felt it a few times, you can say for sure that it is your baby moving! Since last week hearing has been developing, and that continues this week. As well as the whooshing of your blood and the beating of your heart, your baby can even recognise your voices.
