How Far Along: 20 weeks
How Big is Baby: (Taken from Fertility Friend):"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."
