Heartburn might also be a problem, and your baby is probably kicking you all the time. It might be getting hard to tie your shoes, or shave your legs in the shower. Don’t worry, you are almost there now!
Your baby is beginning to get fatter, and is starting to resemble those chunky little babies in the TV commercials now. His or her lungs are fully developed now, and your baby could most likely survive without medical intervention if he or she was born right now!
Your baby’s eyelids are also opening now after being closed since the end of your first trimester. Imagine all the cool sights that your baby gets to take in right now! Your baby is probably also kicking and hitting you all the time since he or she is having an energy surge from all the new fats that the baby is getting. Fun fact? Your baby is now strong enough to grasp your finger.

Fun fact? Your baby can recognize and react to songs that you sing and words that you say a lot. Gross Fact? Your baby is using the potty, and probably peeing around a pint a day. That is a lot for a little tiny baby who isn’t even born yet, huh?
