Baby’s Growth :
This is the seventh month and the baby is growing rapidly inside with eyebrows and lashed now present and the hair is gradually growing.

The eyelids are formed and the body gets plump and round. The muscles are also improving. The lungs are grown but if the baby is born prematurely it would have difficulty to breathe. You can talk to the baby now because he knows your voice.

The bay weighs around 1000 grams that is about 2 pounds now. The health care provider would be able to tell you the baby’s right position, whether head below or feet first (breach position). The baby changes its position on its own. The baby’s brain – the grooves and folds expand now and he has more layers of fat and hair growth.

Father’s Role :
