According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, by the end of the second trimester your baby will weigh about 1 3/4 pounds and be about 13 inches long. With this growth comes the development of fingers, toes, eyelashes, and eyebrows.

Around the fifth month, your spouse might feel your baby move! By the end of this trimester, all of the baby's essential organs like the heart, lungs, and kidneys are formed.
