This is a period of tremendous growth for your babies. they are also growing muscle and are getting stronger every day. As your babies becomes stronger, they will move about more energetically, particularly when you are trying to get some sleep! Their teeth are already beginning to form within their jawbones. They may have some hair on their heads, including eyebrows and eyelashes. Your babies fingernails have grown to the tips of the fingers and they can clench their fists.
The internal organs are maturing. Fat is now being stored beneath their skin. The blood cells take over for the liver the job of producing blood. The gall bladder will become functional, producing bile that is necessary for digestion.
Your babies sleep and wake at regular intervals. You will find that your girls are much more active now. They turn from side to side and head over heels. They may suck their thumbs. Exploring the structures inside your uterus may become their prime entertainment.
Babies are measured from the crown (or top) of the head to the rump (or bottom) until about 20 weeks. After that, they are measured from head to heel. They are now about 7 inches (17 cm) Crown to Rump, about 10 inches (25 cm) from head to heel each.
Babies weighs roughly 11 ounces each(about 300 grams).
Mother
You are getting bigger every day, and during the fifth month you should start to feel your baby's movements, which begin as light, fluttery sensations. Your skin might darken and stretch marks may appear on your abdomen or breasts. Your breasts may begin to produce colostrum. Your gums might bleed and you may have a congested nose.
well, i already feel the girls moving since there are two of them! and i definately already look pregnant! :) Only a few stretch marks, but for the most part all of the weight has gone STRAIGHT to the belly area! They are poking and proding me more everyday and they cant wait till their daddy gets here in two weeks to talk to them!!!! Also, they are very ready to make me miserable while camping in a few weeks! i hope my swimsuit still fits by then!!! YIKES.. ILY baby girls!
