Your Baby's Growth and Development
Your baby's heart continues to grow and develop at 26 weeks. You may even be able to hear your baby's heart beat through a traditional stethoscope placed on your stomach. In addition to organ maturation the nerve pathways in your baby's ears continue to develop and this will allow your baby to respond to sounds more consistently. You might notice your baby jumping more often now to loud noises. This is a good time to start playing some relaxing music to your little one. Some parents even enjoy reading to their babies during this time.
