BABY'S WEIGHT,SIZE AND  SYMPTOMS ;

HOW YOUR BABY'S GROWING

 Your baby now weights about 1.7kg and is as long as a kale leaf, around 42.4cm from the head to heel. From 32 weeks , babies born early have a good chance of surviving and thriving, although they may need help to breathe at first. This is because the lungs won't be fully developed until just before birth.

Your baby's fingernails and toenails are now fully formed. If she gets an itch, she may gently scratch herself  .Your  baby's hair is getting thicker, although  it may thin out after birth.  By this stages, your baby may be getting ready for birth by lying in your womb , with her head pointing downwards. If she's not this way round yet don't worry. Most babies adopt a head-down position by 36 weeks. so there's still plenty of time for her to turn.
