Week 27
Your body: If you haven’t already, register for a childbirth class. These classes are a great opportunity to share your experiences with other expectant couples. Remember to count your fetal movements. Every fetus has its most active times. During his active periods, your baby should move ten times an hour. Choose an hour, and mark each movement on a piece of paper. If your baby hasn’t moved ten times, drink some juice and count again for another hour. You should call your doctor if the baby hasn’t moved at least ten times during any two-hour stretch. If your belly starts itching, try not to scratch. Smooth on olive oil or evening primrose oil.

Baby: The baby’s wrinkly skin is filling out as the fat layers grow. Your baby’s eyes are also becoming sensitive to light, preparing to see after birth.
