Hello from BabyCenter!

Good news: At this point your baby's lungs and digestive tract are nearly mature, meaning she'll do much better in the event of premature birth. Researchers also believe your baby can actually see in utero now, but no one knows exactly how much she can make out. Her eyesight continues to mature every week, and in a few months she'll be ready to see you up close and personal.

See an illustration of your baby and learn more fascinating fetal development facts.

Quick Tip: How to Catch Your Breath
