WELCOME TO THIRD TRIMESTER

 How Your Baby's Developing

By the end of this month your baby will weight over a kilogram - heavier than an average bag of sugar and be about 39cm from head to heel about the size of a butternut squash.

  This month your baby is plumping  up nicely gaining healthy fat under her skin that helps her look less wrinkled and more like a newborn/. These fat stores will also help to maintain her body temperature  after the birth though she'll still rely on you and your partner to keep her warm and safe. As your baby grows her spine is getting stronger,    MADE from a whopping 150 joints and 1000 ligaments it helps  to support your little one's increasing weight. 

Your baby's lungs are also continuing to mature getting ever closer to the day when she'll be ready to take her  first breath/ By the end of this month, your baby's heart will beat   so strongly  that you may be able to hear it if you hold your ear next to your partner's belly. Don't  worry if you cann't  make it out though as it can be tricky to get the right spot.
