Week 19 - Dream, dream dream baby finally gets to sleep

Your baby is the size of a Mango


Your baby measures about 5.5 to 6 inches (13.4 to 15.2 cm) long from crown to rump. At this point your baby weighs about 7 ounces (198.4 grams).
Your baby is covered in vernix caseosa, a thick, white, waxy substance that protects your baby’s fragile skin from becoming chapped or scratched.
Your baby’s permanent teeth buds are also forming behind the already formed milk teeth buds.
If your baby is a girl, her ovaries also contain primitive egg cells. Girls are born with all the eggs that they will have in their life. If the baby is a boy, the prostate will begin developing.
Your baby will also start developing more brown fat around the neck, chest and groin area. This will keep your baby warm when he or she is born.
Your baby also might start sleeping this week. Babies can find a “favorite” position. Usually, babies will have their chin tucked into the chest. Most babies can even dream when they reach the REM stage of sleep!
