Your uterus is well above your navel and your baby is gaining weight.

Your Baby

Your baby’s body is preparing for life outside the womb – fat continues to build and the baby is becoming more and more sensitive to sound, light and taste.  Some research points to the baby being able to sense smell as well.  The position is still head up, even though you may feel as if the baby is doing flips.

The baby’s size this week is approximately 15 inches and 2.5 pounds.

Changes in your Body

Blood pressure may rise slightly at this time and onwards.  If you experience severe swelling in areas such as your ankles, feet or hands, or if you have strong headaches or blurred vision, contact your healthcare provider as these may be symptoms of a serious condition.

This week your uterus will rise to about 3.7 inches above your navel.
