Lack of space is one of the factors that allow you to feel your baby move in your uterus. But in addition, the beginning of the development of her muscle fibers during these weeks will make her kicking stronger so you will feel it more.

If your baby is a female, she is now developing its uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries which will house the eggs she will have throughout her life. Also, her heart is becoming stronger.

Your baby measures now about seven inches or 17 and a half centimeters and weighs almost 10 ounces or more than 280 grams.
