Any little activity will exhaust you. So get plenty of rest when you can.

The hormonal changes will make you moody. You might also be anxious about your delivery and the baby. This is perfectly normal. Just try and relax with a hobby.

Your Baby

Your baby continues to grow. She is about 100 mm and weighs 25 grams approximately.

Her brain has developed now and she can even make facial expressions like smile and grimace. She may even be sucking her little thumb.

Her liver has begun to produce bile, while her spleen has started producing red blood cells.
