growth and development: week 15 "the fetal crown-to-rump length by this week of pregnancy is 4.1 to 4.5 inches. the fetus weighs about 1.75 ounces. it's close to the size of a softball. your baby's rapid growth continues. its skin is thin. at this point in its development, you can see blood vessels through the skin. fine hair called lanugo hair covers the baby's body. by this time, your baby may be sucking its thumb. this has been seen with ultrasound examination. eyes continue to move to the front of the face but are still widely separated. ears continue to develop externally. they now look more like normal ears. in fact, your baby looks more human with each passing day. bones that already formed are getting harder and retaining calcium (ossifying) rapidly. if an x-ray were performed at this time, the baby's skeleton would be visible." --your pregnancy week by week
