Week-by-Week Fetal Development Week 23 This is an exciting week for the father as he could attempt hearing his baby's heartbeat by putting his ear to your abdomen. But make sure that you two are all by yourselves in a quiet room. You could even try using a stethoscope for better results. Some experienced doctor, nurse or midwife may help you by positioning the baby in a way that his heartbeat can be heard. In any case, you must begin communicating with the little one if you haven't already as he has begun to respond to touch and sounds. It is quite possible that he can also recognize his father's voice. I know of a case where the mother can actually feel the baby's excitement as it is expressed through quick movements when his father enters the room. You might also have noticed the baby
jump or kick in response to a loud or frightening noise. And did you know
that your baby has also begun to hiccup? Do not worry, as he has plenty
of amniotic fluid to drink. But you might feel him jerk off and on.
