Changes occur during 27th week of pregnancy

Baby's Development -

  • By this first week of the third trimester, baby looks similar to what he or she will look like at birth, except thinner and smaller. 
  • The lungs, liver, and immune system still need to fully mature, but if born now, baby would have a very good chance of surviving. 
  • As hearing continues to develop, baby may start to recognize mother's voice.Sounds may be muffled, though, because the ears are still covered with vernix, the thick waxy coating that protects the skin from becoming chapped by the amniotic fluid.


Woman's Body -

Woman's body instinctively nourishes and protects her baby during pregnancy. Consider signing up for childbirth classes through local community center or hospital to learn about topics such as labor, options for pain relief, what to expect after delivery, common newborn problems, babyproofing, breastfeeding and formula feeding, and infant CPR.
