Trimester 2

Baby's Development

Your baby is an apple.

Sensing the World — Your baby is beginning to sense light through still-fused eyelids, and their hearing is developing. They can detect sounds from outside the womb — including your voice, which is already becoming familiar and comforting to them.

Your Symptoms

Bleeding gums
