By 20 weeks your baby will have grown to 1 pound or 454g and though still small and fragile she can hear and recognize her mother’s voice — your voice!

You’ll be feeling the baby move even more and using an ultrasound device the doctor can tell if the child is a girl or a boy.

Although vision is the last sense to develop there is sometimes just enough light filtered through the mother’s tissue that a fetal baby can respond when the mother is in bright light.

From 18 weeks, babies can open their eyes although it was once thought eyelids were fused until 26 weeks.
