At 19 weeks, your baby is almost as heavy as a pomegranate. As expected, so many changes are happening at this point!

Your baby is now fully covered in vernix caseosa, a cheesy coating that protects the skin from the amniotic fluid. Don’t worry if you see this at birth because it won’t stay long anyway.

Sensory development also reaches its peak this week. Each of the senses - smell, taste, seeing, hearing, and touch - are now evolving in specialized areas of the brain. Meanwhile, neuron production slows down but makes more complex connections.

Your baby’s kidneys continue to make urine. If you're carrying a girl, she already has roughly six million eggs in her ovaries, but this number is decreasing. At birth she'll have about one million eggs.
