Those first flutters might be real kicks.

  • Feeling the flutters
    Between weeks 18 and 20 many mothers feel movement for the first time, like bubbles or flutters.
  • A protective coat
    The skin is being covered in vernix, a creamy layer that protects it from the amniotic fluid.
  • Ears in position
    The ears reach their final position on the head, and hearing keeps sharpening.

Written against the NHS week-by-week guide. A picture, not a measurement: every baby grows at their own pace.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION, FOR THE TWO OF YOU

“Have you felt the first movements? Describe them.”

Every Sunday, Syncry asks you both one question like this. You each answer in your own words, and the answers become your book.
