About the size of a red cabbage

This week

Already dreaming.

  • Lungs in dress rehearsal
    Practise-breathing is constant now, and the surfactant that will open the lungs at birth keeps building.
  • REM dreams
    Long stretches of REM sleep: your baby spends part of every day in the sleep phase where dreams happen.
  • Hard bones, soft skull
    The whole skeleton is hardening, except the skull, kept flexible on purpose for the journey of birth.

Written against the NHS week-by-week guide. A picture, not a measurement: every baby grows at their own pace.
