Your baby says

The tiny filters in me may be working more steadily now. Important work, but nothing flashy.

What may be happening this week

Around these weeks, the kidneys may have largely completed their development; the liver also begins to take on some of its functions. These organs keep maturing after birth as well.

A note for you

An unflashy week. Let's leave the note plain too.

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