Pregnancy at 15 Weeks

Your baby at 15 weeks can actually interact with you, hear your voice, feel your heart beat and get the rumbling sound of your stomach. That is the reason why he gets so familiar to you just in a few minutes after its birth. You can now talk to him, and he can hear. Occasionally, he may react by throwing its hands and limbs (though you cannot understand that). It can even react by making facial expression, though it is really doubtful whether the tiny kid actually understood a single part of what you said.
