My Baby's Development

Your baby’s skin is continuously developing. Parents are often amazed by the softness of their newborn's skin. It is so thin and translucent, you can see the blood vessels through it. Hair growth continues on the eyebrows and head. Your baby's ears are almost in its position by now. But its still a bit low on the head.

Internally, your baby's muscle development and skeletal system continues to develop. Your baby is probably making a lot of movements with his or her head, mouth, arms, wrists, hands, legs and feet.

My Body

Has it sunk in that you're pregnant? Many women say it isn't until they trade in their jeans for maternity clothes and people start noticing their swelling abdomens that the reality of pregnancy sets in. This realization is both joyful and scary. It's normal to feel as if you're in an emotional situation. Do you feel scatter brained as well? Even the most organized women reported that pregnancy somehow makes them forgetful, clumsy and unable to concentrate. Keep the stress in your life to a minimum level and take your "mental lapses" in stride since they're only temporary.
