1. 15 Weeks Pregnant: Baby Can Sense The Light

2. At this week your baby’s size is of an apple.
During the 15th week, the baby can sense the
light and reacts by moving away from the light
source when the tummy is shined by a flashlight.

3. Your baby’s height is 4.5 inches and weighs 2.6
ounces.

4. The placenta is controlling the fluid balance in
your baby’s tiny body and shuttling waste
products out into your system.

5. Your baby’s urinary system is now developed to
produce tiny amounts of pee. The pancreas also
begin to secrete insulin.

6. Facial muscles are flexing and hence baby can
exhibit grimace or wince.

7. The baby’s skin is very thin and translucent that
you can actually see the blood vessels through
it.

8. Though the external ears are not in the right
place, your baby has already developed his/her
sense of hearing.

9. The ears are in the process of moving towards
the nose from the sides at 15th week and
eyebrows are starting to develop. The eyelids
remain shut but the baby can sense light.

10. If someone shines a flashlight at a pregnant
mother’s tummy, the baby moves away from the
beam. The bones are ossified and apparent.
