Week 38: Baby develops a firm grasp. Thirty-eight weeks into your pregnancy, or 36 weeks after conception, your baby is developing a firm grasp. Your baby's toenails have reached the tips of his or her toes. His or her brain might weigh about 14 ounces (400 grams). After birth, your baby's brain will continue to grow.
On average, a newborn's weight will triple, and he or she will grow 10 inches by his or her first birthday! The anticipation and excitement of each new developmental milestoneâhearing your baby's first word, watching him or her roll over, crawl or maybe even take a first stepâis unmatched. You'll even see glimpses of his or her personality beginning to emerge.
