Baby's Development:

The vernix (the waxy substance secreted by the skin) completely cover the body now.  This will protect it during the last 3 months in the amniotic fluid (the urine content of which will increase).

The vernix will dissolve itself before birth, but enough will remain to assist in the lubrication needed to facilitate childbirth.
