Your Baby
Your baby is now about the size of a peach. Even at this size however, it is still difficult to determine the sex on an ultrasound. Your baby now has the ability to open and close its fists, and even has the ability to make sucking movements with the muscles in its mouth – it’s just a matter of time before the thumb and mouth meet. All of your baby's digestive system is developing into their final shapes, including the stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestines. Even your baby's lungs are practicing breathing (but only with the amniotic fluid). The lungs won’t actually breathe oxygen from the air until birth. The urine that your baby excretes into the amniotic fluid is not harmful and will be quickly removed via the umbilical cord.
