Week-by-Week Fetal Development Week 38 You might notice your baby has more hiccups this week. This is because he may be trying to use his lungs as he practices breathing. But because there is no air around him, the amniotic fluid gets into his windpipe and causes hiccups. Most of the 'lanugo' or the fine downy hair that was covering his body will have gradually disappeared. There should only be some left on his shoulders, arms and legs and other bodily creases. Even though your baby is increasing
at the rate of 28g. per day, you won't put on much more weight at this
stage.
