-At 18 to 19 weeks, your baby is now about
the size of a mango.
Her bones are becoming harder.
Over the couple of weeks, a fine layer of
hair
called lanugo covers her skin under the vernix,
a white
creamy substance that covers the skin of the
fetus.
The
hair helps keep her warm until she develops
an adequate
layer of fat.
Baby's tiny fingers now have unique fingerprints.
She has more control over her movements and
you might
be able to feel her kick with legs that are
now longer than her arms.
She'll start giving you a
low jabs at regular intervals which you might
be able
to feel especially if this is your second
or third
pregnancy.
If you're a first time Mom, you might not
notice the kick until you reached 22 weeks,
you're halfway
through your pregnancy when you pass your
20th week your
baby is as big as a coconut.
He may have
thin eyebrows and a sprouting some hair on
this head
this week.
Behind his eyelids, his eyeballs are rolling
from
side to side perhaps in response to your singing.
His
skin now response to touch and if you put
pressure
on your belly, he'll move away or push back.
If
you have an ultrasound this week, you can
find out
whether you're having a boy or a girl if your
little one cooperates and faces the camera.
