what's going on with the baby during the 17th week....

You are 17 weeks pregnant.

Your baby can hear sounds from outside... probably very muffled. Loud noises can appear to startle some babies.

In mid-pregnancy, many women feel and look 'blooming'. Skin and hair may actually improve in texture and condition.

The eyes are facing more forward. The ears are now close to their final position.

Your baby is more flexible with ability to move head, mouth, lips, arms, wrists, hands, legs, feet, and toes.

Fingerprints are forming now.
