At 24 weeks pregnant, your baby is developing rapidly, now resembling an ear of corn in size. Measuring approximately 11.5 inches and weighing about 1.3 pounds (0.59 kg), your little one is steadily gaining weight as they accumulate baby fat, build muscles, and grow organs and bones.
Baby Development at 24 Weeks:
- Facial Features: Your baby’s facial features are becoming more prominent, preparing them for those adorable photos post-birth!
- Hearing Development: The auditory system is advancing, so if you play certain songs now, your baby may recognize them and find comfort in them once born.
- Appearance: Your baby still has white eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair, which will gain pigmentation later.
Your Body at 24 Weeks:
Around this time, you may notice your belly button “popping” out, a temporary change that will revert post-delivery.
