In this week ...
- Baby is now about the size of a small gerbil and could fit in the palm
of your hand.
- Baby's nail are well formed and growing, and some babies may need of
having their nails trimmed at birth. The ears have also moved from the neck to the head.
Baby is emptying his or her bladder every 40-45 minutes.
- The limb movements are becoming more coordinated and unless you been
pregnant before, you're still blissfully unaware of any movement at this point. In next few
days or week, you will begin to feel fetal movement as your baby's bone hardens, and starts
a big growth spurt.
- Baby is able to make sideways movements with its eyes. Though its
eyelids are still sealed for protection, the muscles which control their eyes are starting
to work. They scrunch up their eyes when bright light shines through your abdominal
wall.
- Baby can open its little mouth and move its tiny lips. There's lots
of practicing going on as well with breathing and swallowing movements, so that amniotic
fluid is constantly being cycled through.
- Though still bit early, the gender of baby can be determined at this
point using an ultrasound if baby is a girl or boy. Please note some countries like India
have banned sex determination during pregnancy and is a punishable offence.
- Baby will grow to average length of about 4.57 inches or 11.6 centimeter
Crown to Rump (CR) and weighs about 3.53 ounces or 100 grams towards the ends of this week.
