I did few prenatal check-ups this week. Most of my patients are on their 5th to 6th months of pregnancy. It is my responsibility to let them know what is going on and how their babies look like.
24th week of pregnancy or 6 months the baby's tender skin is now covered by a waxy substance called “vernix” and the baby to continues to practice breathing by inhaling amniotic fluid in preparation for the big day when she takes her first breath of air.
Her eyes begin to part and open occasionally for short periods of time. Hiccups are not uncommon.
After birth if prefers the mother’s voice because she has been listening to mom filtered through the amniotic fluid. From 26 weeks, babies exhibit a whole range of typical baby behaviour and moods, like scratching, smiling, crying, hiccuping and sucking.
