Seventeen Weeks Pregnant


I am now nearly 5.5" (13cm) long from crown to rump and weigh approximately 5oz (140g). My skeleton is mostly rubbery cartilage, which will harden later. A protective substance called myelin slowly begins to wrap around my spinal cord. With the help of a special stethoscope, which they bought to listen to my Big Brother Dirk, Mummy and Daddy can now hear my heartbeat!
