- 🚶♀️Gentle exercise, such as walking or swimming, can help improve your circulation and mood. Consult your doctor before starting any new activity.
For your baby
- 👶Your baby is starting to make its first expressions, such as frowning or grimacing, as its facial muscles develop and are exercised.
- 🛡️A very thin layer of hair, lanugo, now covers the baby's body to keep it warm and protect its sensitive skin within the amniotic fluid.
- 🦴The baby's skeleton is starting to harden, with bones gradually turning from cartilage to normal bone, while the neck has lengthened, holding the head more upright.
