week 23

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.



I have an appointment next Wednesday. The doctors office called me last week. They said that Dr. Campbell went over my ultrasound that I had around the 16th of June. They said that I have a low laying placenta. Witch means that my placenta is just laying low it is not placenta previa. It will grow bigger and move away. So I will be able to have a natural birth. Unless the baby is breech. Which she was head up at my last ultrasound.
