20w 0d - "Pason" This Week

  • Your baby weighs about 10.5 ounces (300g) and measures about 7.2 inches (18cm) from crown to rump. He still moves about freely in amniotic fluid.
  • Your baby may respond to external sounds, such as the music you are listening to or your voice.
  • Your baby has developed some red blood cells already. The white blood cells that your baby needs to fight infections are being manufactured.
  • He is developing taste buds on his tongue.
  • His digestive system is sufficiently advanced to absorb water and sugar from the amniotic fluid that he swallows and pass it to his large bowel.
  • Your baby has lanugo hair on his forehead and upper lip and his eyebrows are thickening.
  • Vernix (the waxy substance that covers and protects your baby's skin) accumulates on your baby's eyebrows.
  • Your baby's eyes are still sealed shut.
  • Your baby continues to grow and develop and his kicking is getting stronger now.
