Mother's size: the uterus is about 4 inches above the bellybutton. From the pubic symphysis, the top of your uterus measures about 12 inches (30cm).
Head and Neck
Rapid brain growth continues and head size increases as the growing brain pushes the skull outward creating more surface convolutions. This quick growth increases the number of interconnections between individual nerve cells. The iris is colored and the pupil reflexes responding to light. Head hair grows thicker.
Limbs
Toenails are fully formed. Because of the lack of space in the uterus, the legs are drawn up in what is known as the fetal position.
