By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
Not much going on now. My rings are getting tight due to swelling in my fingers. Hopefully I don't have to give them up entirely, but I have started taking them off at night. The sciatic nerve/pelvic girdle pain has subsided for now, thank god! I am actually moving around like a normal person again! It could/will very likely come back, but for now I am enjoying it. Back to the doctor next week.
By the way, what exactly is a jicama?
