Your baby is about the size of a jicama.
While it's not a medical term, lightning crotch is an evocative phrase used to describe sharp pains in the pelvic area you may experience in late pregnancy. Some expecting moms have shooting pain through their groin and into their thigh. Others feel a burning or pins-and-needles sensation. Thankfully, it usually only lasts for a few seconds.
During the end of pregnancy, your belly will feel tight and heavy. As your uterus grows, it eventually pushes up against your abdominal wall, giving your belly that tight-as-a-drum look and feel. But not every mom-to-be will get a basketball-belly look. Just like our bodies are different before pregnancy, they're different during pregnancy, too! Tall women have more vertical space for their growing uterus, so may show later. Full-figured or plus-size pregnant women may also show later, as the distinct outline of their bump may be blurred.
Your baby's body is stashing away important minerals such as iron, calcium, and phosphorus. The iron stores your baby builds now last for the first 6 months of life, until your little one starts eating solid foods. By next month, your baby's lungs will be fully formed. For now, your baby is practicing breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid.
If you're having a boy, his external genitalia is formed and his testicles have started descending to the scrotum. If you're having a girl, her uterus and ovaries are in place with all the eggs she'll have.
