Child length: approximately 18.5 inches (about the size of a Pineapple)
Child weight: approximately 4.4 lbs
At this stage: The baby's head circumference increases by as much as 1.25cm per week.
Your baby will accumulate more fat, turning your baby's skin from red to pink. This fat will keep you baby warm from birth until it can regulate its own body temperature. There's not much room for your baby now.
The fingernails have fully grown and reach the end of the fingertips. At this stage, if born early, your baby will usually do very well.
You will feel less jabs and kicks and more rolling movements as your baby's quarters become more confined.
The developing neural structure within the brain is helping your baby listen, feel and partially see. It is also allowing for REM sleep cycles, which your baby experiences often as it sleeps 90 to 95 percent of the day at this point.

Eight month of pregnancy is starting. Eight month is a kind of survival school. You already have enough, and the end of pregnancy is nowhere to be seen. Over the next seven weeks your child will nearly dobule his weight! That's what you call growing fat!
You may also be experiencing sciatic pain caused by compression in the back. Your blood volume has increased by 50 percent during your first two trimester. It will start leveling out next week and remain constant until you deliver. In addition, amniotic fluid is at its highest level; it will remain at this level until birth.
Uterine twitching may be more common than before due to your baby's hiccups. Frequency of heartburn may increase due to the growing baby in your body, so be sure to continue eating smaller, more frequent meals if you experience it.
The combination of a bigger belly and softer joints from the relaxin hormone in your body, will often make you waddle more when you walk.
