As of this week, all of the baby’s muscles and nervous system are fully developed. Your baby’s reflexes will respond to you strongly this week. When you talk to him, even if he cannot hear you perfectly, he will still hear and understand that you are talking to him. Even if you think he is just a baby and cannot feel yet, talking to your baby makes him feel valued, and he responds to you by moving. Your talking to him gives him strength; he might get a bit spoiled, but he answers your reflexes by fluttering. At 19 weeks of pregnancy, the expectant mother is exactly in her 5th month. Your baby has now recognized his own body. Wherever he wants to touch, he knows and touches it. Your baby’s brain continues to develop. He is now playing little games of his own in the womb.
Along with the 19-week pregnancy, a fluid that protects him from the very first day was present. This fluid is called vernix caseosa. It is a mucosa that covers the baby’s entire body. This fluid protects and nourishes the baby from day one. As of this week, this fluid increases a little more and accompanies the baby until birth.

From this week on, the expectant mother has left exactly half of the journey that lasts from the first day to the baby’s birth behind her.
