40 Weeks!

40 Weeks Pregnant
Height = 19-20 in
Weight = 7-8lbs

During week 40 of pregnancy, "the bun in the oven" should be just about done. It's about time to turn this oven (you) off!
Your baby's reflexes are coordinated by the time you are 40 weeks pregnant, which means that your baby can:
  • Blink
  • Close his or her eyes
  • Turn his or her head
  • Grasp firmly
  • Respond to sound, light, and touch.
At birth your baby has a total of 300 bones. Some of the bones will fuse together later, which is why an adult has only 206 bones. Fascinating, no?
