Weeks 28

Sep 26 – Oct 02 

Week 28 - A kabocha squash 

Baby's skin is still wrinkly, but it is gradually smoothing out as fat is deposited underneath. Your baby can now do all kinds of things, such as hiccup, cough and blink. It’s thought that babies can even dream from about this age. Since baby's lungs are almost fully formed now, he would have a good chance at survival (with some medical assistance) if he's born now.

 

Weeks 27

Sep 19 – Sep 25

27 weeks: Your baby is about the size of a head of cauliflower

Your baby is now as hefty as a head of cauliflower, weighing in at almost 2 pounds and measuring roughly 14 1/2 inches.

You’ve entered the home stretch, and your baby is starting to settle into a regular routine. Baby is now working hard on practicing deep breathing, although there's no actual air in the womb - only amniotic fluid. His nostrils are now open too.
