Your baby’s digestive system continues functioning, storing the meconium you will see in the first diaper it soils. Aside from this, the main organs keep fine-tuning their functions and you will be able to see her internal structures clearly in the follow-up ultrasound which is done mid term. The placenta, the organ on which she depends for her nutrition and oxygen is now as big as the baby, if not bigger.
Although it might seem incredible, your baby practices crying inside your uterus. Her vocal cords are already developed, but she still can’t produce any sounds. Along with this, her skin is starting to show a whitish substance known as Vernix Caseosa to protect her from the fluid she is submerged in for so long. Your baby measures 6 inches or almost 14 centimeters and a half and weighs about 7ounces or 190 grams.
