After a long period of preparation for pregnancy, it is not easy to successfully conceive, and the excitement of pregnant women cannot be understood by others. But only during prenatal check ups can pregnant women see the baby's appearance through color ultrasound, and it is also difficult to see clearly. I really want to know what the baby has developed into every day except for 26 weeks of pregnancy. What is the equivalent age of a baby at 26 weeks of gestation?
A 26 week pregnant baby is equivalent to the size of a zucchini, with a height of about 30 centimeters and a weight of about 750 grams. At this point, the fetal bones have already developed very well, and the joints are also beginning to develop. But at this time, the baby's skin is still yellow and looks quite wrinkled. It is because there is a layer of fetal fat on the surface of the baby's skin that provides nutrients for the baby's skin. These fetal fats also exist after birth and play a lubricating role during delivery.
At this point, the baby's facial organs are also very clear, the eyes, nostrils, and lips have all formed, and hair and eyebrows have also grown out. Moreover, at 26 weeks of gestation, the fetus already has hearing and is highly sensitive to external sound stimuli. At this time, pregnant women can often talk to their babies, and the babies can hear them. Sometimes, they may also respond to the pregnant woman with fetal movements. Expectant fathers should also frequently touch the pregnant woman's belly to communicate with the baby, allowing the baby to listen to their father's voice in advance. Not only can it cultivate parent-child relationships in advance, but it can also help with the hearing development of the fetus.
