Claire was born at 17 weeks gestation.

Around this time your baby's ears pop from his head and Baby-to-be can now sense sounds. 

After all, he has plenty to listen to in utero! He's accustomed to the strong beating of your heart, blood rushing through your veins, and your stomach grumbling. 

He can also discern sounds outside the uterus, like your voice and music. 

Although, according to the Mayo Clinic, whether he can distinguish the sound of your voice

versus other sounds is not yet clear.

On average, most moms are feeling fetal movement by week 17. 

Kick, little one, kick!

This week your little one weighs in at around 5 ounces 

and stretches to just over 5 inches (crown to rump). 

He is about the size of a red onion.
