Your Body, Your Baby
EIGHT
MONTHS - Overall growth is rapid this month and your baby
may gain as much as a half a pound per week.
Weighing in at 4 to 6 pounds most body organs are now developed
with the exception of the lungs and if the baby kicks you'll not
only feel it but also be able to see it on the outside.
Did you know?
The roots of human behavior begin to develop early -- just weeks
after conception in fact. Well before a girl typically knows she
is pregnant, her baby's brain has already begun to bulge. By five
weeks, the organ that looks like a lumpy inchworm has already embarked
on the most spectacular feat of human development: the creation
of the cerebral cortex, the part that allows all of us to move,
dance, run, speak and sing in a real human way. Well... most of
us sing in a real human way.
