Fetal Progress

From babyfit.com:

Your Baby's Development This Week
Age of Fetus—31 weeks
The baby continues to grow at an amazing rate of development. The baby may be sucking its fingers and thumbs, preparing for the process of breast feeding. Your baby is making its greatest demands for protein and fat in the later stages of pregnancy so your nutrition is, as always, very important to your pregnancy and the baby.
Other changes that are happening:
The volume of amniotic fluid has reached its maximum amount. You will have 2-6 cups of this fluid by the time the baby is born.
Your breasts may now be going through a great deal of change preparing for the newborn.
Baby's Size (head to rump) this week: 12 inches
19.5 inches (head to toes)
Weight: 4.5 lbs The baby's size is the length of a ruler.
