27 weeks Pregnant | Symptoms and Development Week by Week

Overview

At this point, your baby can hear you. However, you want to keep in mind that they are not on the same level as ours due to the fact that their ears are still covered in vernix caseosa. This fancy term means that a waxy protective coating is still present there.

Also at this point, you will feel something that you have never felt before, and they could possibly be hiccups. This is because of the fact that their lungs are developing.

You will also feel more movements at this point, this is because your little one is developing its muscles. They will be rolling, kicking, and punching inside your belly.
