Your uterus now sits around 5 inches above your navel. Since it is so high, it may push into your ribs, making you breathless. You may also experience some pain around your ribs due to this. Keeping your chest upright may relieve this pressure and improve your breathing. Your breasts are larger now, and they have begun to produce milk for your baby. Although the milk is being produced already, it will be secreted only upon certain hormonal changes after the birth of your baby. You may, however, notice a thick, yellowish substance emerging from your nipples. This is called colostrum, and is a perfectly normal prelude to breast milk.
Your baby’s fingernails and toenails have formed. Most of the organs have developed by this week. The lungs are maturing too, but they will not develop completely for a few more weeks at least. Your baby’s skeleton has completely developed, but the bones are still soft and bendable.
