Our baby now weighs about 2 pounds, 2 ounces (1,000 grams) and measures about 10 inches (25 cm) from crown to rump. (There’s that “crown to rump” thing again…) At Meg’s next prenatal appointment, her midwife might tell her whether the baby is headfirst or feet- or bottom-first (called breech position) in the womb. Babies who are in the breech position may need to be delivered by cesarean section. But baby girl still has 2 months to change position, though, so it’s no big deal if she’s in the breech position right now. Most babies will switch positions on their own.
The folds and grooves of the baby’s brain continue to develop and expand. Groovy. In addition, she continues to add layers of fat and has continued hair growth.
