Baby begins to move less now as it runs out of room and curls up with knees bent, chin resting on chest and arms and legs crossed. Of the pound a week you're gaining now, roughly half is going to your baby. Talk with your spouse about other ways to remain intimate, including backrubs and foot massages. Your baby measures about 19.8 inches from head to toe and weighs about 5 pounds. Baby is probably settling into the head-down position, although it might not be final.
Organs are now almost fully mature, except for lungs, and the skin is pink instead of red.
Fingernails reach the ends of fingers, but toenails are not yet fully grown. Baby might have lots of hair. Movements are less frequent because of the tight fit. Your pelvis has expanded and may ache, especially at the back. Uterus is pushed hard against your lower ribs and your rib cage may be sore, and your navel is probably pushing out as a result of your abdomen being stretched.
