Hearing.: This is tough to answer. There are some who say that fetuses can hear at certain times in the pregnancy. The neural apparatus needed for hearing have probably been established. If your baby starts moving a lot when you are listening to music than the baby can probably hear. I do not think there is an exact answer, however.

First trimester: I agree with dr. Bosin. Essentially, when you realize the growing baby inside you starts to react to external noises/stimuli, you have your answer, but physically speaking, the hearing apparatus of the baby is already being developed in the first trimester.
