23 weeks pregnant

This week

Your voice is becoming familiar.

• 🗣️
  Learning your voices

  Hearing is good enough now to start recognising the voices your baby hears most, yours.
• ✊
  A real grip

  The grip reflex is strong: your baby grabs the umbilical cord and its own hands.
• 🫧
  See-through skin

  The skin is still thin and translucent; the fat that will plump it up comes in the next weeks.

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

“What kind of parents do you hope to be for each other and for the baby?”

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

Your first month is free. No card needed to start.
