Baby's developmentMonth 6 During month six, the fetus’ skin is becoming less transparent as the fetus steadily gains fat and the integumentary system (skin, hair, and nails) continues to mature. The internal organs are continuing to develop and become stronger. The fetus can now hear and becomes startled at loud bangs. Many women begin to listen to classical music or favorite tunes. Singing, or just the sound of mother’s voice, is now music to the delicate ears of this growing baby.
The top of your uterus is now well past your navel, and you are most decidedly looking pregnant! The kicks, turns and twists are becoming stronger, and you might find it fun to just look at your bare belly and watch the activity. Flaunt it and enjoy – the baby is now 11-14 inches long and weighs about 2 pounds. You look beautiful.
