*17 Weeks*

I'm now 17 weeks and mommy can feel you kick. It's doesn't feel like kicks, it feels like someone tapping their fingers inside my uterus.

A few facts I got online:

You are 17 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 15 weeks)

• The umbilical cord is growing thicker and stronger.
• Fetus weight is just over 5 ounces (150g).
• Baby is about 5 inches (14cm) long crown to rump.
• and would be about 9 inches (23cm) head to toe, if it could stretch out.
• The retina has become sensitive to light.
• The first stools (meconium) are now beginning to accumulate.

About how you're growing so far.
