Child length: 13.4 - 14.9 inches (about the size of a cauliflower)
Child weight: approximately 2.4 lbs
At this stage: The child can see the light and hear sounds from the outside world.
As your baby's brain is quickly developing, it is able to see more light and hear more sounds. The eyelids are opening now and your baby is starting to blink. Your baby's retinas are developing more fully.
Your baby resembles what it will look like at birth, except thinner and smaller. Development in the brain will concentrate on the forebrain which deals with visual and auditory information.
Your uterus may be well above your umbilicus by now.
This is the end of your second trimester. The third and final trimester starts this week. If you are like most women, you will gain about 10 pounds (4kgs) this trimester. Hemorrhoids and heart burn can get rather uncomfortable at this point.
