What is happening to your baby:

  • Your baby’s heartbeat may be heard when someone puts their ear to your abdomen.
  • The lungs and brain continue to grow rapidly.
  • Eyelids begin to open.
  • The retinas begin to form.
  • You will start to notice that your baby has regular patterns of sleep and activity.

What is happening to you:

  • You may be experiencing shortness of breath. This is because your uterus has moved under your rib cage, making it difficult for your lungs to expand.

What to do:

  • You may have started to prepare your baby’s room. For tips, see our list of layette and nursery requirements.
  • Now is the time to see whether your home is baby-safe. Read our safety checklist.
  • From now on, your doctor’s visits should be fortnightly or monthly, depending on risk or complications.
