growth and development: week 21 "your baby is getting larger in this first week of the second half of your pregnancy. it now weighs about 10.5 ounces, and its crown-to-rump length is about 7.2 inches. it is about the size of a large banana. the fetal digestive system is functioning in a simple way. by the 11th week of pregnancy, the small intestine begins to contract and relax, which pushes substances through it. the small intestine is capable of passing sugar from inside itself into the baby's body. by 21 weeks of pregnancy, development of the fetal digestive system enables the fetus to swallow amniotic fluid. after swallowing amniotic fluid, the fetus absorbs much of the water in it and passes unabsorbed matter as far as the large bowel." --your pregnancy week by week
