24th Week

A Journey of Tiny Wonders

Welcome To Week 24!

Your baby’s sleep and wake cycles are becoming established. Your body works overtime due to hormonal shifts and an increase in blood volume, which can cause increased clear vaginal discharge, intense hunger, and lingering forgetfulness.

  • Your baby weighs approximately 600 grams and measures about 30 cm from head to toe.
  • Brain cells for memory and alertness, along with the inner ear, are fully developed.
  • Taste buds continue to mature, and the production of infection-fighting white blood cells has begun.
  • The baby’s hair looks white because color pigments haven’t formed yet, and their skin is translucent.
  • Baby is about the size of a corn on the cob.
