Child length: 17.3 - 17.7 inches (about the size of a large cabbage )
Child weight: approximately 3.3 lbs
At this stage: The baby's movements become less chaotic and more organized.
Your baby is continuing to grow. Most of the organs are functioning well except for the lungs, which are still developing.
Your baby is very conscious of its environment. It's becoming more sensitive to light and can distinguish between sunlight and artificial light. Its eyes can also move in its socket and your baby is more attuned to sound, taste and smell. His or her lungs are working at near optimal levels. At this point, you will also be able to tell if your baby has hiccups by the rhythmic twitching in the uterus.
In fact, between now and week 37, your baby will gain about a half a pound per week.
With only 10 weeks to go you may wonder how much more your uterus will grow. By this time you may have gained anywhere from 25-35 pounds, depending on your pre-pregnancy weight, and you will continue to gain about a pound a week.
Shortness of breath may start to get more frequent, and sleeping can be more and more of a challenge.
