Your Baby is the Size of a Leek
Baby’s stretching and moving
It's a little crowded in your uterus, so he may not be kicking as much. Instead, your baby's probably stretching, rolling a bit, and wiggling — all of which you’ll be able to feel!
Practicing for birth
So what's keeping your little one busy while waiting it out until delivery day? Practice, practice, practice.
Right now, your tiny superstar is rehearsing for his big debut, simulating breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, sucking his thumb, blinking, and pivoting from side to side. One day you feel his bottom on the left side, the next it's flipped around to the right!
Baby’s head is huge!
Here's an interesting fact: At birth, your baby's head — which, by the way, is still growing — will be roughly the same circumference as his chest.
And guess what's making a quite-literal impression these days on those shoulders and hips? Fat — causing little dimples in those cute elbows, knees, and shoulders, along with creases and folds in the neck and wrists.
The Mutlu Anne app is with you every step of the way on your pregnancy journey.

This Week's Highlights

Dress rehearsal
If your baby were born this week, he’d still be early term but will be full-term by week 39. He’s practicing for his grand entrance by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, blinking, and turning from side to side.

Hang on!
Your baby has developed more dexterity in his fingers. He can now grasp onto smaller objects, like a toe or his nose.

More thumbsucking
Your baby is likely sucking his thumb a lot these days in preparation for his feeding sessions after birth.
