30 Weeks


The baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds it, but that volume will decrease as the baby gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after the baby's born, baby's eyes will be closed for a good part of the day. When the baby does open them, it will respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means the baby can only make out objects a few inches from its face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
