2nd Trimester
From feeling the first kick to hearing the heartbeat
14-27 Weeks
At this point in the fetal development the baby begins sucking and swallowing amniotic fluid.
The fingerprints are developed on the tiny little fingers. The eyebrows and eyelashes grow in during the second trimester as well as the fingernails. The air sacs of the lungs begin to develop. Toward the end of the second trimester the fetus looks more like a newborn as the skin becomes more transparent and fat begins to develop.
Mom will begin to feel tiny movements of the fetus called quickening and as the baby grows the movements become bigger and more easily felt.
At the end of the second trimester the fetus has reached about 14 inches in length and weighs about 2¼ pounds.
