Apple (~10cm)·Last reviewed: 25 April 2026
Quick answer

At week 15, your baby is about the size of an apple. Bones are becoming more visible on ultrasound and the baby is moving around actively. According to Nuhah's pregnancy guide, many parents start feeling more confident as the second trimester settles in.

Baby development at week 15

The baby is becoming more active, moving limbs, making fists, and even sucking their thumb. Bones are hardening and becoming visible on ultrasound. The body is growing faster than the head, making proportions more balanced. Thin, translucent skin covers the body, and blood vessels are visible beneath it. The baby is about 10cm from crown to rump.
