Baby development

My little body has so far been made out of cartilage, but that is all starting to change with my skeletal structure forming along with internal organs such as the heart, lungs, brain and kidneys.

My metamorphosis continues apace with blood vessels now visible under my skin and more recognisable features such as lips, nose and eyelids beginning to take shape.

My big heart makes a mockery of my little size by averaging 150 beats per minute. This is twice as fast as yours and is because my circulatory system is so small. This is all perfectly normal!

I have also begun to move around a lot more in here. Not so much that mum can feel me, but it’s a great way for me to give my muscles and joints a proper workout.
