Your baby's sucking muscles are forming, which will help to strengthen the
mouth and cheek muscles. Your baby's form is straightening as the skeletal
system is growing quickly. The fetus head is about 1/3 of the length of
the baby The eyes are fully formed, with eyelids closed for protection as
the eyes grow.
Although you won't feel it yet, your baby is moving quite often. The
baby is able to wrinkle the forehead and purse his or her lips. The
umbilical cord is fully formed and contains three blood vessels - one large vein
and two smaller blood arteries. The arteries carry wastes away from the
baby while the large vein carries nutrition and oxygen rich blood to the fetus.
You are putting on more weight at this stage as your baby grows. You
may feel less emotional and more comfortable knowing there is not a great risk
of miscarriage at this stage.
