Week-by-Week Fetal Development Week 19 It looks like the baby is thirsty this week as he drinks up large amounts of amniotic fluid. Fortunately his gut has begun to secrete gastric juices that help in the absorption of the fluid and then send it to his little kidneys where it is filtered and excreted back into the amniotic sac. And then the cycle starts once again as he continues to drink the amniotic fluid. Yeeeesh.

nine inches or 22.5cm.
