Your baby undergoes radical changes in the 19th week of pregnancy. There are two reasons for this. First, there actually are faster changes and secondly, the changes are much more noticeable now. For instance, the baby might suddenly seem taller. Height does increase as time progresses but now because the child's legs are developed and straightened, doctors measure fetal growth from head to toe and not from crown to rump. Therefore, the child's ultrasound picture at this stage of pregnancy presents seemingly drastic growth. The actual height increase actually is just about another two inches from the last week, however, measuring from head to heal, the baby's height is now around 9 inches. The child's weight in this month is approximately eight and a half ounces. Other growth taking place in this week includes regular functioning of the kidneys as they continue to make urine, growth of hair on the child's scalp of (which may be prominent on the face and ears for some time after birth as well) and many specialized tasks like smelling, hearing, sensing, touching and seeing are being coordinated by brain with the respective sense organs.
