What's happening at 17 weeks
Baby is putting on fat now — the start of the chubbiness that's coming.
What your baby is doing
The skeleton is shifting from cartilage to bone. Baby's eyes can move side to side, even though eyelids are still sealed. They're hiccuping inside you.
What's happening to you
You might start feeling flutters this week, especially if this isn't your first. Hair and nails growing faster than usual.
On the heartbeat
Cudly captures more reliably this week. The trick is patience and slow, deliberate phone movement low across the bump.
