This week the baby is still approximately the size of an eggplant, at 1.32 lbs. in weight, and 11.81 inches in length.
"Your baby's hair is beginning to change to the color that it will have at birth. His weight will double in the next four weeks. Right now he weighs about the same as a lengthy paperback novel. The lungs are developing and preparing for their first breaths. They are also producing a substance called surfactant that helps in keeping the lungs from collapsing or sticking together during exhalation. Loud noises may startle your baby, causing a sudden jolt in your uterus. Due to his growth, space in your uterus is getting reduced even further, a situation made worse by multiples."
