The transition from the second to the third trimester!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baby<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baby is growing to the size of a celery<\/strong> about the size of a Cucumber<\/strong> (34.5 to 40 cm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skin<\/strong> The baby's skin was completely transparent, but this will gradually fade. The skin is taking on a pinkish-red hue. This is due to the tiny blood vessels beneath the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baby is also getting more and more bold<\/strong> on his body. He\u2019s growing taller, but he\u2019s also gaining a lot of weight! Not only is the baby getting chubbier, but he\u2019s also stronger<\/strong> ...! At this stage, you'll often be able to see the baby moving through your belly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The face<\/strong> The baby is becoming more and more human-like. Eyebrows, eyelids, and lips are becoming more and more distinct. Development in the head is also continuing. The brain cells<\/strong> They are becoming increasingly specialized. As a result, their senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch) continue to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lungs<\/strong> During this period, the lungs undergo significant development. More branches of the airways form. The lungs begin to produce a substance (surfactant) that is necessary to keep the lungs open. Hiccups help further prepare the lungs for breathing outside the womb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a baby is about to be born at 25 weeks, there will be a fight to save the baby's life. At that point, the baby is viable<\/strong> That\u2019s what they say. Just know that things are still very uncertain during the 25th through 30th weeks! Every day counts during this time. The brain cells, lungs, and all the other organs still have a long way to go in their development! So let\u2019s really hope the baby stays nice and warm inside you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baby is (thankfully) really getting bigger. And so is your belly! This can cause you to experience more discomfort. Here are a few Common Ailments and Tips for Dealing with Them:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
