4. Baby Fat:
While the formation was going on your baby’s internal organs were being made and perfected. In that rush, the baby was still skinny growing just skin over his/her muscles and veins. Now with the thin veiling of the so-called skin becoming prominent this week, the sagging skin is slowly getting filled by an underlying layer of fat.
5. Breathing:
All this time we were talking about the functions of the lungs as a part of the breathing process and it is perfected for the baby to breathe properly, but enough of mouth breathing! This week the baby will start with his own newly-formed nostrils which were plugged in all this while. With the nostrils slowly opening, the baby now can breathe through his nose too.
6. Weight Gain:
With the baby growing fat at a steady pace, the weight of the baby now grows more and more as you also feel your baby bump growing heavier and heavier. He now weighs a little somewhere 1-1/2 pounds.
