Tu bebé es del tamaño de una manzana. Mide esta semana alrededor de 4 pulgadas (unos 10 centímetros) y si lo tomaras entre tus manos, notarías que ya incluso pesa un poquito. Ahora está respirando líquido, el líquido amniótico en el que flota, porque eso le ayudará a desarrollar los pulmones. Sus brazos y piernas han crecido más, y puede mover las articulaciones. Por el momento tiene todavía los ojitos cerrados, pero puede notar la claridad. Si te pusieras una linterna sobre el vientre, el bebé se apartaría. Otra cosa que tu bebé está desarrollando ahora es el sentido del gusto. Hay estudios que muestran que los sabores de los alimentos que comen las mujeres embarazadas acaban en el líquido amniótico. Hay incluso un estudio del Centro Monell de los Sentidos Químicos en Filadelfia, que afirma que los bebés pueden saborear lo que la mamá acaba de comer. También se halló que si comes alimentos sanos durante el embarazo, al bebé pueden empezar a gustarle esos sabores. Así que, ¡nunca es demasiado pronto para enseñar a tu bebé a comer bien!
En caso de que tengas cita para hacerte una ecografía (ultrasonido) en las próximas semanas (generalmente se hace una ecografía entre las semanas 16 y 20), ¡puede que ya te digan si esperas un niño o una niña! Pero no te desanimes si no te lo pueden decir todavía. Para poder ver con claridad si es un bebito o una bebita, el bebé tiene que estar en una posición en la que se le puedan ver los genitales. Si resulta que está todo acurrucado o está de espaldas, por el momento el sexo de tu bebé seguirá siendo un misterio.
How Big is the Baby at 15 Weeks Pregnant?
Your baby is a about the size of an orange by pregnancy week 15, between 4 and 4 and ½ inches long and weighing more than 1 ½ ounces!
Your Baby's Growth and Development
Your baby is growing rapidly as always as you continue your pregnancy week by week journey. You would still be able to see your baby's blood vessels through his paper-thin skin if you were to peek inside your uterus during pregnancy week 15. In fact the vessels forming in your baby's body make him look rather like a map! This week your baby will start producing lanugo, which is fine hair that will cover your baby's body up until a few weeks before birth. Lanugo covers every part of your baby in utero, except for the palms, soles of the feet, lips, penis, nails and inner fingers and toes. Typically babies will shed this hair by the 8th month of pregnancy, but it can persist in some after birth for a short period of time. Pre-term babies are more likely to be born with lanugo than full term babies. Your baby might start sucking his thumb this week.
The bones in your baby's body are also starting to get harder during pregnancy at 15 weeks and will continue to do so throughout your pregnancy. Your baby is spending most of his time practicing breathing, by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid. Believe it or not, the very act of doing so will help your baby's air sacs develop during pregnancy. Your baby continues to form taste buds at this point in time.
Your Growth and Development
You should start noticing a more bloated abdomen by pregnancy 15 weeks time. Most women have gained anywhere from five to ten pounds by now. Your uterus has now risen or is starting to rise past your hipbones by pregnancy week 15. Your healthcare provider will be able to actually feel it about three inches or so below your belly button.
Later in your pregnancy your healthcare provider will start taking measurements of your uterus, which they will refer to as the "fundal height". This measurement can help confirm your due date, as it usually correlates with the number of weeks you are pregnant. The fundal height is formally defined as the distance between the top of your uterus and the pubic bone.
