The rapid growth your baby experienced in the previous weeks is slowing down a bit. On one hand your baby is now fine-tuning the functions of each and every organ and on the other hand storing fat. Now that the basic structures are formed you can better see if everything is OK and that is why the most detailed follow up is done during these weeks.

At the same time your baby is still very active in your uterus. These continuous movements help him develop coordination. Besides practicing its exercises, your baby also sleeps and it seems that at set times, as if he already had a sleep schedule.

In these weeks your baby can already practice grimacing, squinting and even frowning, since her brows have already started growing. The skin which was practically transparent now has acquired a waxy shade due to the fat and muscular fiber that is accumulating inside. He already weighs a pound, a little less than half a kilogram and he measures eight inches or 20 centimeters.
