Klumpen starts”fluttering” inside. Happened in the morning when I’m on the bus and at first I suspected it to be bowel movement (oh s**t what do I do what do I do) then I realized it wasn’t Miss Bowel moving but Miss Klumpen! How exciting!
FACT: Klumpen puts on more muscle and tests it out by moving around. The skin’s sebaceous glands (needed, of course, to make pimples later) become active and make the oily stuff called vernix caseosa that covers the skin. It’s the foetus’ do-it-yourself wetsuit made, disgustingly enough, of fatty material and dead skin cells (if that doesn’t make you feel sick, how’s this: doctors say the coating looks like cheese). Vernix caseosa waterproofs the skin against the amniotic fluid, and protects the foetus from scrapes when it bangs into the wall of the uterus. Height: 16 cm, weight: 320 gr.
How mommy’s life is changing:
- Klumpen is about due to start putting pressure on me ribs and me digestive system.
- Me could get pains down the sides of me tummy from now on as the uterus stretches (yuck!)
