"The fetus now weighs about three-quarters of a pound / 360 grams. Up until now she has been measured from crown to rump but from this point on the measurement will be from crown to heel. And from crown to heel she is approximately 10.5 inches / 27 centimetres long. The eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed and the fingernails cover the fingertips.
Your baby can now hear your conversations. If you talk, read or sing to your baby, expect her to hear you. Some studies have found that newborns will suck more vigorously when read to from a book they heard frequently in utero. If you want to try, pick a book now and read it out loud. Make sure you won't mind reading it over and over once the baby is here. It may be your baby's favourite bedtime story for a long time after birth."
