Where do blue eyes come from?!
Remember the interesting fact that baby's hair can change color after birth? So, it’s the same situation with the eyes. Most newborns have eyes of an incomprehensible gray-bluish-blue hue. Do not be surprised if you and your partner have brown eyes. During the first year of life, the baby's eyes will change their color. They can become gray, blue, green or brown — no one knows what is inherent in the baby by nature. Interesting, right?
The cute lanugo fluff covering the baby’s body begins to fall out this week, so from now on you won't be giving birth to a fluffy baby.
The lungs of your child are strengthened, and the vocal cords have developed enough to scream and cry loudly. Did you buy earplugs for all family members? ☺
The baby actively swallows amniotic fluid and accumulates meconium in the tummy — the very greenish-black mass that will be in her diaper in the first days of life. And do not say "ugh" — get used to it already. Soon you will rejoice at the contents of the diaper as if it were a university exam!
Do you know how the baby understands that it's time to prepare for birth? Not only because she feels cramped — the placenta at this point begins to gradually thin and "grow old", and the fetus gets less and less nutrients. Hunger breaks stone walls, and soon the baby will have to go out to eat well.
