All about baby - Week 33
Your unborn baby's senses continue to develop. If you talk to your baby, he can hear you. In fact, his world is full of sounds. In addition to your voice, he can hear your stomach growling and your lungs taking in air, along with the reassuring vibrations of your heart beating. Also, your baby's skin has turned from red to pink and he has started preparing for life outside the womb by storing iron in his liver.He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.
How Big Is Baby?
This week your baby stretches to around 12 inches (crown to rump). Your baby is proportioned like a pineapple when it comes to weight -- between 4 pounds and four pounds, eight ounces. (Length: more than 17 inches, head to heel.)
