What can you expect at week 27 of pregnancy? By now, your baby is about as heavy as a cauliflower blossom, and will grow amazingly bigger in the next few weeks!

One particular highlight of this week is that more fat develops under your baby’s skin. This fat helps regulate your baby’s temperature and protects the vital organs in place that are still developing.

Your baby becomes more active than ever, beginning to inflate cheeks, clench the fists and do hiccups, which you will soon enjoy watching! The arms and feet, meanwhile, become stronger and longer, too. You can expect more frequent kicks and jabs from this week onward.
