Week 29
Return to Fetal Development Overview
At week 28 of your pregnancy, eyebrows and eyelashes are now very noticeable
!
Hair on baby's head is growing longer
. Some babies are born with almost none at all, while others appear to be ready for their first haircut!
Eyes are completely formed at 28 weeks pregnant
. Quite a view from inside!
Your baby's body is getting plump and rounded
. Most of that increase is muscle tissue and bone. Fat will be added during the third trimester.
Muscle tone is improving
. Preparation for the Olympics feels like it is taking place in your womb!
Lungs are capable of breathing now
(but baby would still struggle and require medical attention if born now)
Talk to your baby often, reading stories, singing songs and more.
He or she can recognize your voice now
and will often calm to it later on!
After 28 weeks of pregnancy, your baby weighs in now at
2.2 pounds (1005gm) and is 14.8 inches (37.6cm)
.
