Crown to rump, your baby is around 3 and a half inches / 9 centimeters long and weighs one and a half ounces / 43 grams. The body is now growing faster than the head. This week, its parchment-thin skin covers itself with lanugo (ultra-fine, downy hair that usually disappears before birth). Though eyebrows are beginning to grow and the hair on top of the head is sprouting, this hair may change in both texture and color after birth.
About now, the fetus can grasp, squint, frown, and grimace. It may even be able to suck its thumb. Researchers believe these and other movements probably correspond to the development of impulses in the brain.
Other than this, I went to visit the gynae this evening. Enquire about the recent cramp and ribcage pain, he claims its normal as i feel bloated and its expanding. Hmm.. Everything since to be normal so far, which is a blessing. :)
As for the result, its normal and have low risk of Down Syn. While conducting ultrasound, Dr ask if i wanna know the sex of the baby. When i ask if its visible now, he pause and decided to reserve his comments till the next visit. Claiming incase i got scolded from my mother-in-law. Leonard and myself were skeptical about the gender.
