TEN GROWTH MILESTONES AT THIRTEEN TO SIXTEEN WEEKS
By the end of the 16th week, you can easily feel your grapefruit-sized uterus midway between your pubic bone and your navel. Let's look at 10 growth milestones during this month:
Your little "peach" is about the size of a peach!
Baby doubles her length and nearly quadruples her weight.
She is around five inches long and weighs around four ounces at the end of the 16th week.
Her arms lengthen this month and she can flex her arms, clasp her hands, and suck her thumb. Her legs lengthen, and kicking intensifies (you probably don't feel it yet).
Her bones (arms, hands, and legs) form and are visible on x-ray or ultrasound.
Baby "breathes" amniotic fluid in and out through the developing air passages and tiny sacs in her lungs.
Her external ear folds are becoming more developed, as is her hearing, enabling her to react to sounds.
She develops her own unique fingerprints.
Blood vessels proliferate at a rapid rate and show through baby's thin, still transparent skin.
The placenta becomes the prime producer of pregnancy hormones you will continually need to nourish your baby and yourself, and your baby now free floats in her own bubble of amniotic fluid, contained in an amniotic sac. By the 16th week, there is enough amniotic fluid for doctors to safely enter the fluid- filled sac by a procedure called amniocentesis.

Your baby is fine. Please don't worry about things like that this early in your pregnancy. Your doc will let you know if something is wrong. Go to babycenter.com and it can give you a week by week for your entire pregnancy. It really helped me. Even there it is a guesstimate. You and your baby are fine.

They cannot accurately weigh a baby that is in the womb. It's just an estimate. The measurements are more important.

If the baby continues to grow at the same exact rate he/she will weigh approximately 8.5 lbs at birth. I would say they are just right.

Your baby is growing at her own speed.
Some babies grow faster, some grow slower.
Just keep up with your prenatal check-ups and you'll probably see that you're just normal for YOU and your baby.
