baby update – 96 days pregnant

The bony palate, or roof of the mouth, has been complete for some weeks, the sucking muscles are filling out the cheeks, the tooth buds are present under the gums, the esophagus and windpipe are present, and the larynx, or voice box, is present. By today, the baby’s salivary glands will begin to function. Over the next three days, your baby will begin to make breathing, sucking, and swallowing motions.
