Baby Development In 8 Months
Updated: Dec 27, 2023
It's been a long journey, but there's much to look forward to when you're eight months pregnant. You are now in the end stages of fetus development and pregnancy. The third trimester is when your baby is growing, developing, gaining weight, and ready to meet you when the time comes. As you navigate through the eighth month of pregnancy, it's crucial to be aware of possible symptoms, understand your baby's development, and make preparations for the upcoming birth. Additionally, considering stem cell banking as part of your birth plan is an important aspect to explore for the future well-being of your child. Read on to learn more about what to expect and how stem cell banking can contribute to your baby's health and potential future medical needs.
Baby Development in the Eighth Month (From Week 29 to Week 32)
During this baby development stage, the brain develops the fastest. The fetus can see and hear many stimuli; the lungs are growing; however, most internal systems are fully formed. Besides, here are some other progress in the eighth month:
Week 29
You may feel kicks and jabs more like pokes as the fetus feels cramped in the amniotic sac.
Week 30
The fetus can regulate its body temperature. His brain is maturing and growing rapidly.
Week 31
The fetus can process more information and stimuli and you may notice more apparent patterns when your child is awake and asleep.
Week 32
Fetal skin is no longer transparent. Most other organs are well-formed and ready for birth, except for the lungs and brain. The fetus is about 17 to 18 inches long and weighs about 5 pounds.
