Mom, I'm like a long onion (35.6cm, 760 grams)

Big breakthrough - my eyelids can now open and close! They were fused for recent months, but now I can blink and react to light changes. Eyelashes are fully formed and help protect eyes. Lungs continue intensive maturation - capillary networks expand, preparing for gas exchange. Surfactant is produced in increasing quantities. My breathing movements become more regular and rhythmic. If I'm a girl, ovaries begin descending from the upper abdominal cavity downward. The nervous system is developed enough that I have basic reflexes necessary for survival.

Remember mom, every child develops at their own pace and has their unique timeline. If you have any doubts about my development in your belly, consult with a doctor.
