Your sister's fetus was the size of your hand at three months? I think you have misremembered the stage of your sister's pregnancy, Ryan. At 3 months, your sister's fetus weighed approximately an ounce. One site said "between a half ounce and an ounce." Four weeks: The fertilized egg has made it's seven- to ten-day trip to the uterus, where it implants cozily into the endometrial surface. It is now called a blastocyst... Six weeks: about the size of a peppercorn... Eight weeks: about the size of a cherry... Eleven weeks: eight grams (about a quarter of an ounce)...The primitive "tail" is now gone Twelve weeks: 60 to 65 millimeters long or about two and a half inches long, and weighs about 14 grams (above it says that eight grams is about a quarter of an ounce) 3 months: about 3 inches long and weighs about an ounce. Over 90% of all abortions are performed before this stage has been reached. Thirteen weeks: about seven centimeters crown-to-rump, about two ounces, intestines have now moved from outside the body to inside the abdomen. [You'll when you google that there is inconsistency in the exact measurements; there must be a range.] Now, I think this is important: 6 months/26 weeks: 14" long and almost two pounds...Interlinking of the brain's neurons begins. Some rudimentary brain waves can be detected. The fetus will be able to feel pain for the first time. It will become conscious of its surroundings. State laws and medical association regulations generally outlaw abortions at this stage, except under very unusual circumstances.
