The development of your baby –
The amniotic fluid which surrounds your growing baby in the uterus to help cushion it and keep it protected from external damage now grows another purpose. The intestines are well developed, developed enough to absorb little amounts of sugar from this amniotic fluid that will be swallowed and passed through the digestive system to the bowel eventually. However most of the baby’s nourishment is still provided by the placenta. Till about his time, your baby’s spleen and liver were producing the blood cells needed by its body but now the spaces in the bone marrow are enough to function likely. Soon, the bone marrow will be largely responsible for producing blood cells in the baby’s body. During the third trimester and post birth, the bone marrow becomes the chief center of blood production. The spleen won’t perform this function by the thirtieth week while the liver will stop producing blood till a few weeks before the child is born.
