What is happening during Week 22

The baby measures about 7.6 inches (19cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 12.25 ounces (350g).

Eyebrows have developed.

Her digestive system now functions in a rudimentary manner. Undigested amniotic fluid passes into her bowel which she will eventually excrete after birth.


The baby can suck and swallow and may even suck her thumb.

The baby's senses are developing, especially her sense of touch. She can feel her face and stroke her arms and legs.
