Pregnancy Videos & Photos - The Sixth Month

The sensory faculties of the fetus now begin to develop. This month marks an awakening of attention and muscle development.

The fetus has become a small, vigorous being and can clench his fists and grip an object since he now possesses the grasping reflex. He now moves every day and manifests his presence so that if the mother no longer feels him move at any time during a 24 hour period, she should not hesitate to call her physician; however, the fetus may remain immobile for a few hours while sleeping.
