Your baby's arms and legs are now in the right proportion to the rest of his body and thin hairs ae sprouting from his body and thin hairs are  sprouting form his scalp/ His brain is starting to form separate  specialized areas that will be responsible for his sense of smell taste . ,hearing , vision and touch.

Most of mums to be star to feel little flutters between 18 weeks and 20weeks as their baby wriggles inside. If you've been pregnant before you'll probably recognize you baby's movement even earlier than this.

You may not identify your baby's movements at first only to discover that what you think is a gassy  tummy is actually your baby doing back flips/

 If your placenta is  at the front of your bump  you may feel movements slightly later  in your pregnancy / Your sonographer will check the  position of your placenta at your anomaly scan which takes place at around 18  to 20 weeks
