Your baby in week Fifteen

Your baby is the size of an apple! Your baby can make funny expressions like smiling, squinting and even frowning in the womb. The skin of your baby is very thin like a paper, where blood vessels run like a cluster of very thin wires. You may experience some slight flutter for the first time in your womb. The baby starts moving from 7^th week. But some moms feel them in 14 to 26th week or few experience them in 18 to 22 week.  It is developing lanugo. These are fine hair that would cover the body and protect the skin in the womb. These hair fall naturally just before the due date inside the womb. Babies born earlier may have lanugo, but they would fall naturally in few days or weeks (there is no need to rub them as rubbing the skin of a newborn baby is not at all recommended).  The baby’s need for calcium increases as it continues to absorb calcium and form bones from cartilages in its body.
