As the baby grows, you may begin to notice more distinct features:
Week 13: The baby’s body is beginning to catch up with the head in size, and its tiny hands and feet start to form more distinctly.
Week 14: Facial features become clearer, and the baby starts to form unique characteristics, including fingerprints.
Week 15: The baby’s skin becomes less translucent, and more detailed facial features emerge.
Week 16: The baby begins to develop muscle tone, and movement inside the womb becomes noticeable for some mothers.

Visible Baby Bump: By this time, the uterus has grown enough that your belly will likely begin showing.
