During your weeks of pregnancy there are several other key events that you may want to note:

Week 10: Ask to listen to your baby's heart beat at your doctor appointment.

Week 15: Your baby can see light from within the womb.

Week 18: You may begin to feel your baby kick.

Week 19: Your baby can hear noise. Talk & sing to your baby.

Week 20: Ask your doctor if you can find out your baby's sex by ultrasound.

Week 27: Your baby's lungs are still immature, but able to function.

Week 32: Your baby has finger & toe nails.

Week 37: Your baby is full-term, but still gaining weight.

Week 40: Your baby is due!

Most women will not deliver their baby on their calculated due date, but it is often a good estimate within a week or two. It is always best to talk to your pregnancy doctor about any concerns or questions related to your expected date of delivery.
