Although some fat is being stored under your baby’s skin, she is plumper mainly due to the growth of the muscle tissues and bones. You will probably feel your baby’s kicking more intensely as weeks go by. This is because your baby has more muscle tissue. On the other hand, the lungs are much more developed and, if she were to be born prematurely she could even breathe unassisted, although she would need medical attention.

Your baby’s eyes have experienced a great progress in the last few weeks. The structure of the eye to be able to see is already formed, the retina is fully developed and your baby even has eyelashes now, besides having perfectly formed brows. Light filters through your belly and it reaches your baby more clearly now.

Your baby this week weighs almost two pounds and a half or a bit over a kilogram and measures almost 15 inches or 37 centimeters.
