24 Weeks......



This week the baby's crown-to-rump length is around 22 cms and the baby will weigh approximately 1.2 pounds. Although it weighs a little over a pound at this point, the growing baby is still tiny.
The baby's face is basically complete now. The fetus's eyes are close together on the front of his face and they are still shut. The baby's ears have moved into their final position on the sides of his head. Where they are now is where they will be when the baby is born! Hair will continue to grow on his scalp and his eyelashes are well developed. Most of the baby's features look the same as they will at birth. Because the growing baby is getting plumper, he no longer has room in your tummy to do cartwheels and somersaults.
