Hey mom, I'm as big as a small papaya. My brain and hearing are more developed this week.

This week, your baby's hearing sharpens enough to pick up familiar voices, and their fingerprints are fully set. The first bond, forming long before they ever see your face.

23 Weeks Pregnant? Here’s your 23 week pregnancy guide to provide expert info & advice about your growing baby & the changes in your body, by week & by trimester

	<li>The ultrasound scan on the left shows a magnified view of the four chambers of the baby&#39;s heart.</li>
	<li>In the scan on the right, you can notice the blood flowing from the upper chambers of the baby&#39;s heart (the atria) into the lower chambers (the ventricles).</li>
	<li>The walls of the ventricles are more muscular than the atria because they have to pump blood to the baby&#39;s lungs and the rest of the body.</li>
