Your baby is the size of an onion!
What Your Baby is Doing
Your baby’s umbilical cord is growing stronger and thicker. Its sweat glands are starting to develop, and its skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone.
What Your Body is Doing
You may notice that your eyes frequently seem dry. It is safe to use over-the-counter eye drops. If you wear contacts, you may be more comfortable removing them and wearing glasses during the remainder of your pregnancy.
What You Should Eat
Oranges contain Vitamin C, which will help develop the baby’s bones, tendons, skin, and cartilage.
