You may begin
to feel the baby move around this point. This is more likely to happen
now if you are a multipara (someone who has had a previous child) or if
you are very thin. Generally you will feel the baby move about one
month earlier than you did in a previous pregnancy, mainly because you
know what you are feeling. It is not uncommon for first time mothers to
not recognize fetal movements until 22-24 weeks. These first movements
are called “quickening.” They can also be used in helping to determine your due date.

Baby:

Your
baby's nails are well formed, and some babies are even in need of
having their nails trimmed at birth. The ears have also moved from the
neck to the head.
Your
baby is emptying his or her bladder every 40-45 minutes. The limb
movements are becoming more coordinated. Your baby is about 3 ounces
(85 grams) and 6.3 inches (16 cms). The gender may be detectable by ultrasound.
