What’s happening inside
Facial muscles are functional enough for expressions. The baby may squint, frown, or grimace. Lanugo — soft fine hair — begins to cover the body.

A round-ligament ache is common as the uterus rises and stretches. A sudden movement can produce a sharp pain that fades quickly — this is usually normal.
