8th month
Your baby is now looking more like a chubby newborn. Their limbs are longer, their bones are continuing to calcify, but there are still a few empty spaces in their skull: these will allow the brain to continue to grow, even after birth.
The brain cortex is developing: your baby is now sensitive to pain. They are drinking a lot of amniotic fluid and developing a sense of taste.
Your pregnancy is now very obvious. Your stomach is rounded and you carry your baby proudly. Your baby is beginning a phase in which they will gain a lot of weight. Make sure you don’t do the same!
At the end of the 8th month, they weigh 2,5 kg and measure 50 cm.
