Welcome to week 25 of your pregnancy! Your little one is now about the size of an eggplant, measuring approximately 13 inches long and weighing around 1.5 pounds. At this stage, your baby is developing crucial features, such as a more functional nose and lungs, preparing for their big debut into the world.
Your Baby at Week 25
- Startle Reflex: Your baby’s startle reflex is coming into play. It’s an adorable reminder that they are becoming more aware of their surroundings. Just be careful not to scare them too much!
- Baby Fat: That baby fat is starting to build up! While your little one is still on the lean side, they are gradually losing that wrinkly appearance as they gain weight.
- Hair Development: If your baby has inherited some hair, you might even start to see its texture forming by now. Not all babies have hair at this stage, but those that do may have a little tuft already visible.
How Big is Your Baby?
