Baby - Week 17


  • The umbilical cord is growing thicker and stronger.

  • Fetus weight is just over 5 ounces (150g).

  • Baby is about 5 inches (14cm) long crown to rump.

  • and would be about 9 inches (23cm) head to toe, if it could stretch out.

  • The retina has become sensitive to light.

  • The first stools (meconium) are now beginning to accumulate.

And on another note, Sofia's belly now has three sides: front, left and right
