BABY'S GROWTH AND SYMPTOMS;

HOW BABY GROWS

Your baby now weighs about 1.9kg almost the same as a pineapple, and measures over 43.7cm from head to heel. His brain and nervous system are fully developed, and he's starting to develop his own immune system.

Your baby's skin is becoming less wrinkled as he plumps up in preparation for birth. Due to the  amount of white fat underneath his skin, your baby's complexion is less red  than it has been previously . After he's born the tone and colour of his skin may develop over several months. particularly if he's African  Caribbean or mixed race.

Your baby's skull is soft and the plates of bone that form  it are not yet fused . During birth these plates will slide over each other as he eases through the  birth canal. You'll be able to see or feel the gaps in your baby's skull when he's born. They won't finish closing until he's about 18 months old.

If you're having a boy , his testicles are continuing their descent form his abdomen into his scrotum. Sometimes, one or both testicles don't fully descend until after birth.  This is especially common in babies who are born prematurely. Most undescended testicles are in place by the time your baby's about six months old.
