Baby's Growth Synopsis
The child has stretched another half inch and is now about 4 inches long. The baby is now inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid. The child has already started reacting and now can sense light as well. The taste buds are beginning to form. Sweat glands appear and the hair growth continues through this week. The baby's ears are almost in place and muscular developments continue on their normal course. Lanugo now covers every part of the baby in utero, except for the palms, soles of the feet, lips, penis, nails and inner fingers and toes. Some babies start sucking their thumb around this time.
How Are You Feeling This Week?
Certainly better than the last few weeks, right! As for the changes your body is undergoing this week the key ones include, higher output supply by the heart to provide baby with the required oxygen (about 20% higher and will increase further as pregnancy matures), an expanding figure that will soon require maternity clothes and a pregnancy weight gain of about 5 pounds (slightly higher or lower gain is alright). Some expecting mothers may experience a stuffed up nose, increased salivation and maybe a little restlessness. But all these issues won't irritate you for long. Another few weeks and you will be the proud mother of the sweetest child on earth.
