Movements like baby kick, wave, grab its feet, etc. will be evident. During this time, you can make out baby’s two eyes, a nose, and a mouth quite clearly. However, more detailed facial feature will not be visible, meaning you won’t be able to say that baby has daddy’s nose or mom’s eyes.
19-26 Weeks
