Our Babies: Week 21
Your baby measures about 7.6 inches (19cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 12.25 ounces (350g).
Eyebrows have developed.
His digestive system now functions in a rudimentary manner. Undigested amniotic fluid passes into his bowel which he will eventually excrete after birth. Your baby can suck and swallow and may even suck his thumb.
Your baby's senses are developing, especially his sense of touch. He can feel his face and stroke his arms and legs.
Multiples: The babies are kicking each other frequently as they move around. The membrane separating them is very very elastic so don't worry about them kicking each other. They are well protected and the membrane won't rupture from their activity.
