Question

Is it possible for a baby to be able to touch its face with its fist at 10 weeks 5 days gestation?

Answer 1

Probably, its floating around in there.

Its gotta bump stuff

Answer 2

At my 12 week ultrasound my baby kept hitting itself in the face with its fist! Thats my kid for ya!!!

Answer 3

It does have fists, it has fingers and toes. I am 11 weeks and 5 days and a couple days ago I read in my daily journal book that it starts touching its face. Today when something touches its face, it opens its mouth, as the rooting reflex has started to work. Amazing, isn't it.

Answer 4

I had an ultrasound last week and I was 11 weeks and no days.  My baby was hitting its self in the head everytime the tech tried to get a measurement of the head.  Are babies not just wonderfully exciting!

Answer 5

actually yes... i believe the baby starts touching its face at 10 weeks... thats what the update said that i recieved this week.. i am 10 weeks pregnant by the way...but remember all pregnancies are different.

Answer 6

It is possible.  At 10 weeks, the baby has arms and hands (not buds as suggested above).  However, baby's motor skills are erratic at best.

Answer 7

Every thing is possible nowadays.

I believe you and how awesome is that :-)

I use to hear from older people that babies don't open their eyes and don't even move until they are 40 days old, but lately, if you look around, you see babies moving, opening their eyes and trying to concentrate witch is an amazing thing.

When I Had my Baby 5 years ago he was looking at me and trying to really concentrate to see who is holding him, I asked my doctor about it because I was so surprised, so he told be it is because the medications(Vitamins) we are taking with our pregnancies.

So I would love to see my baby doing the same as your baby is doing, it is just amazing.

Answer 8

No, it doesn't have fists at that point.  Only arm buds that they can't control at all.
