I am six months pregnant right now. Time goes quickly. Here's the information I've searched about the development of my baby.
The baby's skin turns from almost transparent to opaque. Oil and sweat glands develop, and a waxy substance called vernix protects the skin. Her brain matures and reflexes develop, including the reflex to startle at sudden loud noises. She practices breathing by inhaling amniotic fluid. By the end of the sixth month, the baby weighs around two pounds and can be up to 12 inches long.
these photos are amazing. One of the downsides to adopting is missing the entire pregnancy and being able to see photos of your child really growing. Of course upside is that you arent pregnant.
2 sides to every story.
