24 Weeks

We are 24 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 22 weeks)

• Little BOY child is now gaining around 3 ounces (90 grams) a week (which means... so is Julie!).
• Baby weighs about 1.3 pounds and is 12 inches long.
• Baby weighs about 600 grams and is 30cm (crown to heel) long.
• The eyelids can be seen very clearly.
• If born at this stage is officially considered viable, they may well be able to survive.

The weight gain for baby is in muscle, bone mass and organs. The body begins to fill out with its appearance increasingly becoming more like that of a newborn. Taste buds begin to form. If Julie drinks something strange or bitter, baby may be observed showing his distaste.
