Now weighing about 3 pounds (1,400 grams) and measuring about 10.8 inches (27 cm) from crown to rump, our baby continues to gain weight and layers of fat. This fat makes the baby look less wrinkly and will help provide warmth after birth. Not to mention giving her pinchable cheeks.

In preparation for respiration after birth, the baby will mimic breathing movements by repeatedly moving the diaphragm. She baby can even get the hiccups, which Meg may feel as rhythmic twitches in her uterus.
