​
Welcome to week 15 of your pregnancy! 🌸 As you journey through this enchanting phase, your baby is flourishing with each passing day. Here's a glimpse into the marvelous progress unfolding at this moment:
- Feeling the Vibe: Your baby is experiencing a period of rapid growth, now measuring about 4 inches in length. You may begin to sense movement, described as gentle flutters or bubbles in your pelvis, known as quickening. If you haven't felt these sensations yet, don't fret! Every woman's experience is unique, and some may not feel movement until later stages.
- Hearing the World: Around week 16, your baby's hearing begins to develop, and they start forming lung tissue essential for breathing after birth. Additionally, their limb movements are becoming more coordinated. Imagine, they're over 4 inches long and actively interacting with their surroundings!
- Size Check: At this stage, your little one is approximately the size of a small apple. By week 16, they'll have grown to the size of an avocado. It's truly remarkable to witness their rapid growth and development!
It's a truly magical time as you contemplate the wonders of your baby's journey within the womb. Remember, it's entirely natural to have questions or concerns, and your healthcare provider is your steadfast ally throughout this process. Don't hesitate to reach out to them for guidance and support. 🩺💖
