Week 15 · Second trimester
Week 15, gently.
Your baby is the size of
an apple
- 10.1 cm long
- 70 g
Your baby can hear now — muffled, but they hear your voice every day.
“They know your voice before they know anything else.”
What’s happening inside
Hearing is developing. The baby hears the whoosh of your blood, your heartbeat, and the muffled music of your voice. Bones are hardening.
How you might feel
You may notice glowing skin or, conversely, pregnancy acne. Hormones do uneven things. A quiet hour reading with a blanket is a kindness to yourself this week.
