Over the last four weeks, our baby has grown an incredible amount,
and has just about quadrupled his weight. He's big enough that we
should be feeling fluttering or quickening quite regularly now. In fact,
from his movements we may be able to tell if your baby is awake or
asleep. Our baby is anywhere from 20 - 26 cm (8 to 10 inches) long and
weighs 285-300 grams (10-11oz).
Our baby has started to practice breathing motions, even though his lungs are not yet mature enough to breathe enough air to allow him to survive outside mother's body. Lanugo (the fine hair) covers your baby's whole body, and hair on his scalp is beginning to grow. Our baby's ears are fully functional now and he enjoys the sound of uterine noise. All the organs and structures of our baby's body are formed and our baby is now entering a period of simple growth.
