Week 24 development milestones
Cantaloupe-sized this week. Your baby's nostrils are opening and they're beginning practice breathing movements.
What's Happening This Week
- Viability reached Baby has around a 50% survival chance if born now (with NICU care).
- Taste buds ready All taste buds are fully working.
- Inner ear complete Baby's balance and orientation system is now complete.
- Startle response Baby now reacts to loud sounds with a little startle.
Tip Of The Week
- GDM (gestational diabetes) test happens between Wk 24-28 — keep it on your list.
- The ultrasound scan on the left shows a magnified view of the four chambers of the baby's heart.
- In the scan on the right, you can notice the blood flowing from the upper chambers of the baby's heart (the atria) into the lower chambers (the ventricles).
- The walls of the ventricles are more muscular than the atria because they have to pump blood to the baby's lungs and the rest of the body.
