Week 24 of pregnancy

Week By Week Development
Week 24
Baby's Development
  • Length - 11.8 inches or 300 mm long
  • Weight - about 590 gram
  • Your baby starts to blink and his eyebrows and eyelashes are present.
  • He puts on weight in muscle, bone mass and growing organs and tissues as his body begins to fill out.
Mother's Development - 24 pregnant week
  • You may begin getting stretch marks, but they will fade after the baby is born.
  • You may be able to determine the babies sleep/wake cycles, by his activity or lack of it.
  • You should call your GP/Gynae if you have any of the following
    • Contractions or cramps, more than 5 in one hour
    • Bright red blood discharge from your vagina
    • Swelling of the face or hands
    • Pain during urination
    • Sharp or prolonged pain in your stomach
    • Accute vomitting
    • A gush of clear watery fluid from your vagina
    • Intensive pelvic pressure
  • You may gain between a half and one pound per week from now on. This may seem like a lot of weight considering the average birth weight of a full term baby, but not all of the weight goes on the baby - the placenta, increased volume of blood, muscles, breasts and amniotic fluid all increase your overall weight.
