Week 31...
Your baby’s crown-to-rump measurement is now about 11 inches (280mm) - almost as tall as a 12-inch ruler. Its weight is at least 2 3⁄4 pounds (1,300 g), the weight of a quart-and-a-half of water.
The baby’s growth in height and weight will begin to slow between now and birth. Even so, your baby will gain about two pounds (896 g) this month.

If your baby is born now, it may have a callous on its thumb from sucking it in the womb.
For about the last month, your baby has assumed the fetal position in your uterus. The legs have been drawn in to the chest, because there isn’t room for them to straighten out.
The baby’s brain is still developing rapidly, increasing the number of interconnections between individual nerve cells and identifying groups of cells that will perform complicated functions throughout your baby’s lifetime.

13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus
Your zodiac sign may not actually be your zodiac sign anymore.
Astronomer Parke Kunkle says that due to changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, according to NBC. In addition, there may be a 13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus.
Kunkle says that as the Earth and Sun slowly move the signs gradually change, as expected.
The change didn't happen over night either. The 12 signs were designated to different periods of the year almost 3,000 years ago, when astrology began, and since then the Earth's position in relation to the sun has changed.
While the sign many people were born under may now be different, it shouldn't affect horoscope readings, according to NBC.
