Your baby says

These days I'm filling out a bit. My corners seem to be getting rounder.

What may be happening this week

During this period, fat keeps building up under the skin, and weight gain may become more noticeable. Growth rate differs from baby to baby; it is assessed at doctor checkups.

A note for you

For the mother, this week may bring days when the weight in her body is felt more clearly. For the father or partner, taking on a bag to carry or the shopping is one way to be part of these days.

A rounding-out week. Let's leave the note short and plain.

Sizes are averages and every baby grows at their own pace. This page is general information, not medical advice.
