She
is now using the four senses: vision,
hearing, taste and touch and recognises
her mother's voice. There is still space
enough for her to straighten up, as she
puts her hand to her mouth to suck her
thumb. Her eyes are open, her eyelids
are fringed with lashes and she often
moves her eyes as if searching for something
to see. The amniotic fluid is reduced
by half to allow her room to grow. She
is gaining weight quickly and by the end
of the seventh month may weigh 4 pounds.
