Week 24

Anna’s crown-to-rump length is around 8.4 inches and her weight is approximately 1.2 pounds. Although she weighs a little over a pound at this point, growing Anna is still tiny.

Anna's face is basically complete now. Her eyes are close together on the front of her face and they are still shut. Her ears have moved into their final position on the sides of her head. Where they are now is where they will be when she gets here in October  Hair will continue to grow on her scalp and her eyelashes are well developed. Most of her features look the same as they will at birth. Because she is growing and is getting plumper, she no longer has room to do cartwheels and somersaults.

Anna is practicing breathing by inhaling (up to a liter/day) amniotic fluid into developing lungs.
