Fifteen Weeks Pregnant



At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, I now weigh about 2½ ounces. I'm busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in my lungs. My legs are growing longer than my arms now, and I can move all my joints and limbs. That means my hands are more functional, too. Sweat glands are appearing, and although my eyelids are fused shut, I can sense light. If Mummy shines a torch at her tummy, I'll move away from the beam. There's not much for me to taste at this point, but my taste buds are beginning to form.
