Week 26
About the size ofa pineapple
Your baby’s pattern of movement is settling into a regular rhythm. Your baby is now 33 cm and 720 grams.
Around this time your baby’s pattern of movement will settle into a regular rhythm. This development starts at around 26 weeks, but you will notice it most clearly around 28 weeks. The eyes are now starting to open too. What is more, your little one’s heartbeat is now so strong that your partner can probably hear it at home with a wooden ear trumpet or a toilet roll tube. The best spot is about ten centimetres below the belly button. It does take some practice!
