This is the last week of the 2nd Trimester! We're closing in!! Week 27 = 12 weeks left till C-Section day.. just 87 days left!! Ok, the 12 weeks sounds like JUST around the corner.. the 87 days sounds like, we've got time.
Fetal Development:
During this week, the brain continues its rapid growth, and the lungs continue to grow. Eyelids begin to open, and the retinas begin to form. The baby will grow over 1/2 inch this week and will be about 1 1/3 feet long (from crown of head to the toes or 9.6 inches from crown to rump)!
Maternal Changes:
Congratulations! At the end of this week, you will have finished the second trimester already! You may be experiencing some shortness of breath. Your uterus is close to your rib cage now, and your lungs may not be able to fully expand. Don't worry though. Your baby isn't lacking oxygen and your circulatory system is actually working more efficiently thanks to those pregnancy hormones that have caused you so much discomfort.
