Wrinkled skin will smooth out and your baby will start to look more and more like a newborn. Your baby is also growing more hair - and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture!
Your baby also has fully formed fingerprints, its bones continue to harden and its nostrils are starting to open.
Your baby is now able to hear your voice when you speak. Surfactant is starting to be made in significant quantities and is a very important substance needed for the lungs to function.
Now roughly the size of a soccer ball, your uterus is halfway between your sternum and your belly button. All this growing might cause your stretched out skin to feel itchy in places. Try to relieve the itching with lotions and moisturizers.
