Your Baby is the Size of a Potato

Baby's grip, vision and hearing are getting stronger

This week, your sweetie is making more sense of the world as she develops her sense of touch.

In fact, your little one's grip is quite strong now, and since there's nothing else to grab in utero, she may sometimes hold on tight to that umbilical cord. Don't worry — it's tough enough to handle it.

The sense of sight is also becoming more fine-tuned. Your fetus can now perceive light and dark much better than before, even with those fused eyelids.

But remember — unless you're shining a flashlight over your belly, which you can do, by the way — it'll be mostly dark for your baby inside that cozy womb of yours.

She can also hear your voice, your heartbeat, your gurgling stomach, and the whoosh-whoosh of blood circulating through your body.

The Mutlu Anne app is with you every step of the way on your pregnancy journey.

Thanks for reading.

This Week's Highlights

The flashlight test

Though baby's eyelids are still sealed shut, your little one can perceive light and dark now. Shine a flashlight on your tummy and see if your cutie pie moves.

Watch what you say!

Watch what you say!

Baby's ears are beginning to hear and process sounds from inside your body — your breathing, your rumbling tummy, your heartbeat.

Learning to grab

Learning to grab

Baby's nervous system is sharpening the five senses, which means those little fingers are learning to grab those tiny ears, nose, and umbilical cord.
