You baby is quite developed and plumped up now. The baby may weigh around 6 to 7 pounds and over 19 to 20 inches long. In this week of pregnancy, the baby would have developed matured organs as well. The baby will also have the firm grasp you can feel after the delivery within few weeks.
You can feel the movements of the baby inside you in this week. The pigmentation for the baby’s eye develops and will be their eye colour after the delivery. If the baby is born with brown eyes, then they will remain brown eyes in their life. If the baby is born with dark blue eyes or grey, then the eye colour may change to green, hazel or brown colour. But the eye colour may also stay with grey or dark blue colour. Gray or blue eyes have lesser pigments than the green or brown eyes.
