| | 6 / 12 Month 5 (Week 20)
By 20 weeks, the top of the uterus is at the belly button. The baby weighs about 300 grams (10.6 ounces) and about 16 cm (6.5 inches) long, and is covered in a fine hair called lanugo. Fingerprints are developing as well as permanent teeth buds behind the baby teeth that are already formed. Gender is usually visible through ultrasound by now. The baby can suck a thumb, yawn, stretch, and make faces. You may be able to feel your baby move, which is called "quickening." Loud noises may even cause your baby to startle.
