Happy Halloween!
Your Baby
Your baby’s liver and spleen are now producing blood cells, and the pancreas is beginning to release digestive enzymes. Your baby’s liver accounts for 10 percent of the total weight, which is about a half an ounce by now. The muscular system and nervous system are responding to each other and junior is now able to bend, stretch, kick, and even make faces. These movements are not a response to any particular stimulation, but are occurring nevertheless. The sex of your baby is becoming more pronounced as well, and the kidneys are now producing urine from the amniotic fluid that he or she has ingested. Because your baby won’t be using the lungs to breathe until birth, all of the oxygen needed is coming from the placenta.
