Your little one gained three more ounces. And he got 0,4 inches longer. The baby can open his little eyes already. All the blood vessels are well seen through his thin skin. You child can distinguish different voices and he replies your voice by moving.

You
There is about half a liter of amniotic fluid in your uterus. This fluid protects your baby from different kicks and provides him with constant temperature regime. It also creates the surrounding where he can move easily. The components of your amniotic fluid change during nine months. At the beginning it is more like your blood plasma, later there appear phospholipids, produced by baby’s lungs. You little one’s condition depends on the amount of the amniotic fluid. When there is not enough of it, your baby has no place to move. Too much of amniotic fluid may be a sign of an inflectional disease. Your doctor will control the amount of the amniotic fluid with the help of ultrasound.
