Your Baby's Development
The final touches are being placed on your baby masterpiece. Fingernails and toenails have grown, and eyelashes, eyebrows, and the hair on your baby's head are evident. The lanugo hair that has covered your baby since the first trimester is falling off, although some may remain on the shoulders and back at birth.

At about 4 pounds (1800 grams) and 11.4 inches (29 centimeters) from crown to rump, your baby would have a very good chance of survival outside the womb if you delivered now.

Your Body
Are you experiencing symptoms such as sudden weight gain, headaches, or changes in vision? These symptoms might mean you have preeclampsia, a dangerous condition that causes high blood pressure and may affect both the mother and fetus during the second and third trimesters. Preeclampsia can lead to eclampsia, which can cause seizures, coma, or even maternal or fetal death. During your prenatal visits, your health care provider will monitor your blood pressure, urine, and swelling, but if you experience any warning signs of preeclampsia, talk to your health care provider right away.
