What’s happening this week

Your baby's hands are well developed and they may make fists. The nostrils are starting to open. Your baby responds to your voice and touch, and may move when you rub your tummy.

Changes in your body

Movements matter

Your baby has their own pattern of movements. If your baby moves less than usual, call your doctor or hospital now, don't wait.

Bleeding, fluid leaking, fewer baby movements, a bad headache, blurred vision or sudden swelling: call your doctor or hospital now. In an emergency, call 112.
