    It prevents tears to unwanted areas - the uretha or anus. On rare occasions, such tears can cause a fistula - a permanent connection between the vagina and the anus or the bladder.

      Your baby is about 16cm long from crown to rump. Another way to look at it is that your baby is around the size of a banana. Hair is already growing on your baby’s head and a fine, soft hair called lanugo is beginning to cover their body.
