What’s New at Week 16?

As you continue on this amazing pregnancy journey, your baby’s ears are now in their permanent location. Tiny eyes, complete with eyelashes, are now facing straight ahead. While your baby’s eyes do not open at this time, they can move from left to right and see light.

Little hiccups may now become a part of your baby’s experience in utero this week.

If you are having a baby girl, she continues developing millions of tiny eggs this week within her petite ovaries.

Ultimately, this miraculous development will allow your baby girl to become a “mom” herself one day and raise her own precious babies.

What a wonderful week it is…find out more at Week 16 of My Empowered Pregnancy.
