How your baby's growing:
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. She's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of her head to her bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, she's measured from head to toe.)She's swallowing several ounces of amniotic fluid these days, which is good practice for her digestive system. She's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. Shes even got working taste buds!
