Baby's Development:

At the end of this week, your baby is well formed.  The development of the neck allows the head to be turned freely. 

The lungs improve their efficiency and there will be tiny movements which are practice for future breathing.

All of the different parts now co-ordinate themselves ready for further development.

Baby's Profile:        Size:       -  12 cm

Her Emotions:

This is one of the most beautiful weeks of pregnancy... you will begin to feel movement!

At the beginning, it will not be so obvious, but after some time, the frequency and position at the end of certain movements will leave you in no doubt.

His Emotions:

You won't be able to feel much from the outside, but gentle talking to your baby can sometimes get him to move around, your partner can tell you if she feels anything.

Don't push and prod around too much.

Useful Information:

The results of the "Trisomy 21" tests can lead you to talk with your obstetrician about other tests such as amniocentesis testing or CVS.
