Fetal progress this week
I thought you might enjoy reading the latest on our development. I get these weekly, so I'll post anything interesting. Boy, are they right about the gaining weight part or what! Whew!
This is from babyfit.com:
Your Baby's Development This Week
Ae of Fetus—24 weeks
Your baby is putting on more weight at this time. Recall that you can expect to gain about a pound per week this month as both you and the baby grow. This week marks a special time as the baby's brain wave activity begins for the visual and auditory systems. It will be some time, however, until the baby comprehends what it is sensing.
Other changes that are happening:
With the nostrils now open, the baby will now make breathing movements to prepare for taking in air at birth.
Your baby's lungs secrete surfactant to keep the lung tissue from sticking together.
At this point the baby has completed two-thirds of its stay in your womb.
Baby's Size (head to rump) About 9.25 inches
Weight: Approximately 2 lbs
