Pregnancy week 24

In this pregnancy week your baby has just turned 22 weeks old. Confused about how you are twenty four weeks pregnancy and your baby is only twenty two weeks old ? Read about your pregnancy due date to understand why this is the case.

OK, now back to you and your baby and what is happening in pregnancy week 24 - this week, your uterus, which started its journey below your bellybutton, has moved about 2 inches above your bellybutton - your belly is growing and you can see the change.

By pregnancy week 24 your baby is has grown to around 8 and a half inches long from his head to his bottom and weighs about 1.25 lbs (abou half a kilo!). Baby has eyebrows and even eyelashes by week 24, not to mention fingerprints - imagine that - your 22 week old baby has fingerprints ! Although your baby has grown phenomenally up to know, its time for him or her to begin filling out - the wrinkly skin needs to be filled out and that is beginning to happen - amazingly enough, your baby is at the point where he or she can quite probably survive outside your womb - baby's lungs are still forming and the time in your womb now is a nurturing and maturing process that prepares baby for life in the outside world. Baby is active now and his or her hands are moving, touching and grabbing.
