The week thirteen is characterized by the complete forming of the heart, the spleen and the liver, while the fetus begins to use placenta to take nourishment from the mother in the fourteenth week. The hair grows on the skin in the fifteenth week, while in the sixteenth week the mother can feel the kicking of the baby. Throughout the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth week of the pregnancy, the fetus develops the brain very rapidly and the brain is now divided into the left and right brain hemispheres. From the twentieth to the twenty-second week the brain furthers develop and now it is possible to recognize different sounds. In the twenty-third week, the nerve cells join and form the nervous system, and starting from this week, the brain begins to control the other body functions. In the twenty-seventh week, the fetus may even be dreaming and with the twenty-eighth week, the second trimester of the pregnancy is finished, with the brain completely formed. From the twenty-ninth to fortieth week, which is the third trimester of pregnancy, the brain only grows in size and there are only few brain developments. Sources & Links
