31 Week Update from the Web

This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He/she weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He/she can turn their head from side to side, and arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his/her skin. The baby is probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.
