- Your baby weighs just under 2 pounds (850g) and could possibly survive if delivered now. Your baby measures approximately 9.2 inches (23cm) from crown to rump.
- He is growing fast and gaining weight now. His skin is less transparent and is becoming opaque as fat builds up.
- Your baby's heart is beating 120 to 160 beats per minute, as you have already heard at several doctor or midwife visits.
- Until now, your baby's eyes have been sealed shut, but he reopens them this week. The eyes are almost fully formed and the retinas contain all the layers they will have when your baby is born. Your baby's eyes are blue right now, no matter the ethnic origin or eye-color of you and your partner since eyes do not acquire their final color until months after birth.
- Your baby is lean right now, but is getting fatter all the time as fat is being deposited. Your baby's skin is getting thicker and paler and is becoming less red and wrinkled as more fat is deposited.
- Your baby has eyebrows, eyelashes and fingernails, though all are short and need to grow more.
