At week 22, your baby is now the same weight as zucchini. The developments this week are fascinating. Your baby's internal organs are growing very fast while the skin may still appear wrinkled.
Meanwhile, the sensory system continues to develop, and your baby will learn to rub the body using the hands. More movements will take place at this point. The eyes are now almost fully developed, as the iris still lacks the pigments that give color to your baby’s beautiful eyes.
Your baby's brain goes through a period of rapid growth, too. The cells that control conscious thought are developing. What does this mean? Your baby’s earliest stage of memory is now forming!
If you are having a girl, you will be amazed to find out that the ovaries, egg cells, and uterus are already fully formed.
Lastly, your baby can finally hear you by this week. The bones of your baby’s inner ear are now developed, so the sense of hearing is a lot stronger now. Read, sing or speak to your baby - you might just get a kick as a happy response!
