Child length: 8.7 - 10.6 inches (about the size of a carrot)
Child weight: approximately 1.1 lbs
At this stage: Your baby is probably quite active by now and you should be able to feel movement or kicks in your belly. It might even be possible to see the movements on the surface of your skin. Half a litre of amniotic fluid in the sac is exchanged every 3-4 hours.
Rapid eye movement and dreaming begins.
At this stage, the baby is practicing inhaling and exhaling (amniotic fluid, rather that air, of course). Aside from the lungs, your baby's pancreas is also developing this week.
Overall, your baby is now more proportioned from head size to the rest of the body and is looking more and more like a newborn.
Days left to birth: 126
Due date: 11 November 2013
