Your baby’s existing organs grow and begin maturation. His fingerprints are developing. He is probably digesting the amniotic fluid he swallowed. Fat appears under his skin and it will help him control his body temperature, as he will leave the womb. His blood flow is well established. The umbilical cord is growing and thickening to better fulfill your baby’s nutritional needs. The placenta and the foetus are approximately the same size.
