Pregnancy At 31 Weeks

All About Baby

Baby's lungs continue to mature. As her lungs become more developed, the chances of her surviving if born prematurely increase. Her skin, which has been wrinkled, now becomes smooth as fat cells fill out her body. Baby knows Mother's voice. Singing to her, talking to her, and telling her all about the world she'll be joining soon is a great way for Parents to bond with Baby—and each other!

Baby's fingernails have grown and may even need a manicure after she's born. Baby weighs around 3 pounds, 8 ounces and stretches to around 16 inches (crown to heel).
