You
You may spot a few stretchmarks over your hips, breasts or belly (keep your skin super-supple with moisturising body cream). You'll also notice your areola (the darkish area around your nipples) has got a little larger. Sometime between now and 22 weeks, you'll feel the first fluttery sensations of your baby moving inside you - a real movement to savour, whenever it happens.



Your Baby
Your baby's eyes are now sensitive to light and their genitals and reproductive organs are all in place. A protective sheath of myelin is starting to wrap itself around her spine. The baby is active, kicking and rolling and turning somersaults in your womb and even tugging and playing with your umbilical cord.
