27 Weeks-Beginning of Third Trimester!



The babies are sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing their eyes, and perhaps even sucking their fingers to calm themselves and strengthen cheek and jaw muscles for nursing. With more brain tissue developing, our baby's brain is very active now. The membrane that used to cover the baby’s eyes will separate at this stage to form eyelids. A new visual discovery begins for the baby and the baby’s eyes are mostly blue at this stage which will change into their true color some time after birth. Some experts believe that the baby begins to dream by the 28th week. No one knows what they dream about but the brain remains active and the characteristic grooves on the brain surface start appearing with the development of more brain tissues.Any tiny rhythmic movements I may be feeling is probably a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, I just enjoy the tickle!
