Fifteen Weeks

At week 15, your baby stretches his limbs and bends at his elbows. He's getting big enough that you can feel many of these movements.

This week your baby is roughly the size of a small apple or orange. His bones are continuing to grow and lengthen. While he looks more like a baby, his skin is still thin and translucent with his veins visible.

Your baby is also beginning to grow lanugo, a very fine hair. It will keep growing until around the 26th gestational week of pregnancy (that's week 28 of your pregnancy).
