A sixteen to eighteen week old fetus. At this point, he is between four to six inches long and weighs between three to four ounces. His face is much more detailed as are his hands.

Twenty Week Old Twenty Week Old
Twenty Week Old Fetus
A twenty week old fetus. He is nearly ten to eleven inches long now and weighs about 10.6 ounces. That soft, downy hair (lanugo) that he started to grow earlier now covers his entire body, although his skin is still pinkish and translucent. He will be able to hear his mother’s stomach and heartbeat in a couple of weeks, and may even blink and become startled if he hears a loud noise.

Twenty-Six Week Old Twenty–Six Week Old

Thirty Week Old Fetus
A thirty–week old fetus. At this point, he is nearly fifteen inches long and weighs about 3.1 pounds. Only ten short weeks and it’ll be time to move out. His face and body are just about fully developed, and now he is working on strengthening his organs.
Even his brain is beginning to develop faster than ever. He is even becoming familiar with voices he hears often. And now you know that the baby’s a ‘he’.

Thirty–two to Forty Weeks Old Fetus
A picture taken later than thirty to thirty–two weeks would be difficult to see clearly being as the baby takes up the entire womb at this point.

But from now to the time of birth, the baby is busy hiccupping, responding to outside stimuli, directing body functions, developing sleeping patterns, rolling, and maybe even occasionally giving a swift kick to the ribs.
