Baby's Development:

Most of your baby's organs are mature except for the lungs.  He trains for breathing in a frenzy, but as there is no air available, he breathes in the liquid, thus leading to many bouts of hiccups.

Head hair is growing.  

Tries to blink the eyes.

Strong reactions to familiar voices.

Baby's Profile:        Size:       -  43 cm

                                  Weight:  -  2.3 Kg        (Average growth figures)

Her Emotions:

Your baby appreciates your voices more than ever, as well as the caresses.  Soon it will be so impatient to see exactly who it's friends are that an exit will be made.

His Emotions:

Boredom with waiting can set in easily.  Get a stock of good books to pass the time.

Useful Information:

Very often, baby will give kicks with feet or buttocks up into the stomach, causing acidity to rise...  The only solution is to split you meals so that you have 6 or 7 smaller snacks in stead of 3 or 4 bigger meals (but don't increase the overall quantity).
