from about week 13-15 in my pregnancy, I woke up hungry and got hungy a lot during the day. THen weeks 16 and 17 it kinda stopped. I didn't wake up hungry or have to eat often. Now I am 171/2 weeks and the hunger is back. Do fetuses go through growth spurts like babies do?

If you can't answer seriously, please don't bother. Duh, I know that it grows fast during pregnancy. But does it go through spurts DURING pregnancy where it grows faster one week than the previous week?

Yes weeks 16-20 are a major growing period. They double in size =)

essentially you have working sperm non stop. Therefore you get a growth spurt. if you measure the body of the fetus from conception to birth and compare the same nine months after birth you'll get your answer.

Here's a link with 3D pictures of fetuses. I think all 40 weeks are one big growth spurt! http://www.layyous.com/root%20folder/ultrasound_photos.htm
