The way things grow...
The average pregnancy will stretch the mother's skin an additional 1.5 feet by the 9th month!
At the end of a normal, full-term pregnancy, the uterine muscle is the largest muscle in the woman's body.
After the birth, the woman's womb will shrink back to half its pregnant size before the baby is one week old. By a month, it may be back to its normal size.
Human babies are born with only 25% of their adult brain size, compared with 45% attained by infant chimps. The human brain doubles in size during the first year of life.
Wowee.
