What are the changes in growth and development of your fetus?

 

The baby weighs around 2 pounds now. The length is 9 inches or so. The respirations are being stronger. The lungs start the secretion of the surfactant this will provide protection a well as better lung expansion.

 

What changes are expected in you, mom?

 

The uterus is about 2 and ½ inches above your navel. Well, Mom, you are feeling some painless contractions, feeling ha? You feel as if for few second, the abdomen (the uterus), gets tightened and after a while it relaxes on its own…. These are termed as the “BRAXTON HICKS CONTRACTIONS”. Don’t worry! Have a talk with the doctor.
