Head is still dominating over the body, but the progress of the body is significant as well. This week marks the beginning of a very important change – fat generation. This allows the baby to stay warm, providing her/him with extra energy as well. The heart is now working hard, pumping over 25 liters of blood in a single day. Ears have reached the next checkpoint in terms of functionality and the baby can now detect sounds from the outside and react to them. • • What’s happening with you in Week 17? • • Emergency urination should be gone by now. Due to the noticeable increase in size, you should consider wearing proper clothes to make yourself more comfortable. You should be gaining up to 4 kilograms at this point.
