At 17 weeks, your little resident is the size of a pear, and will grow bigger in the coming months.

The baby's ears are almost in their final place. The eyes are now positioned forward instead on the sides. The rubbery cartilage that will become your baby's skeleton is about to start hardening into bone.

Most of your baby’s reflexes are fully developed by now, such as the swallowing and sucking reflexes, which will come in handy after birth!
