Baby's going through major brain and nerve development these days. Her irises now react to light, and all five senses are in working order. (She won't pick up anything from her nose until after birth, though -- smell is transferred through air, not amniotic fluid.)
Your baby weighs about 1.5kg and looks more than ever like a newborn. She measures about 41cm from crown to toe. Her arms, legs and body continue to fill out – and they are finally proportional in size to her head.
You may notice your baby isn't moving around as much. That's because she's just running out of space in your uterus (womb). As long as you can feel her squirming and kicking, you'll know she's just fine. Believe it or not, she still has plenty of growing to do. You can expect her to gain at least 900g before birth.
Your baby's organs are continuing to mature and she is passing water from her bladder, which is good practice for the weeing she'll do after she's born. Also, the marrow in her bones has taken over from her liver the job of producing red blood cells.
