Pregnancy Week 33
Your baby may comfort himself by sucking thumb. His grasp is well developed and he may even grasp the umbilical cord at times. Your baby's brain and nerves are continuing to develop and direct bodily functions. Your baby is starting to prepare for life outside the womb by storing iron in his or her liver. These iron stores will last until your baby is about four months old.
