Baby has acquired the reflex of suction. If a bitter solution is introduced into the amniotic fluid, all swallowing will stop, however, if a sugary solution is introduced, your baby swallows twice as fast as before!
The baby can also get the hiccups just about now.
Baby reacts to visual stimulations. It will use the hands to protect the eyes from violent external light.
Your baby is moving around a lot. It has more space now and will spin around and around and around... You maybe can feel it stronger now.
