• Your baby’s heartbeat has become strong enough that you and/or your doctor can hear it clearly with a stethoscope. A normal fetal heartbeat is 120 to 160 beats per minute and is pumping about 25 quarts of blood through your baby’s body each day.
• Baby’s hearing continues to develop too, perhaps the baby is hearing you talking to him already. Some moms notice a difference in their baby activities depending on the kind of music they’re listening to.
• Everything keeps growing stronger this month, bones, nerves, heart, etc.
• Even though your baby’s lungs are not working yet, the diaphragm and chest muscles are already practicing expanding and contracting and their chest walls move rhythmically in and out.
