You

Have you turned in to a typical pregnant woman and developed a waddle? Or you didn't even notice you waddled, until your lovely partner commented on it? You can thank your hormones for your new gait. The hormones are working to prepare your body for delivery, and one way they do so is by relaxing your joints. This allows your hips to spread, making your birth canal wider and easier for your baby to exit. Once your baby is born, the hips will tighten back up and your walk will be back to normal. 

Your Baby

Baby is 37.6cm long and weighs 1005 grams. Baby's eyes will receive their color this week. Pigment will fill in your baby's irises, and they will have color when they are born. Caucasian babies are usually born with blue eyes, and the irises don't change into brown, hazel or green until six months after birth. Babies of other nationalities are born either blue or brown, and then can change to other shades in several months time.
