Pregnancy - Month 7

Baby's movements at this point in pregnancy have gone from wild kicks and flurries to smaller movements as the room becomes crowded in the uterus. At about week 28 babies begin to start turning head down. This is automatic in most babies and they seem to like it that way. Your baby can sense light and dark in the uterus. This may also effect the pattern you notice of sleep and wake cycles. The uterus is also not a silent environment. While the baby can hear your heart beat, your digestive system, etc. your baby can also hear your voice as well as others close by. Think of what you can hear in a pool. Your baby's eye lashes are developing, as subcutaneous fat is deposited. If you have a baby boy, his testes will probably begin descending. Your baby is about 13.8 inches long (35 cms) and weighs about 2 pounds 4 ounces (1 kilogram)! A baby born at this time has a good chance of survival with the help of medical technology.

Bedwetting

Don't worry, bedwetting is surprisingly common. Around one in eight children starting primary school today still wet the bed regularly at night. Fortunately there is hope, as bedwetting becomes less common as children get older. Around 5% of 10 year olds (that's one in twenty) and 2% of 12 to 14 year olds (one in fifty) still wet the bed.
