Welcome to the third trimester — your baby now weighs over a kilogram and is blinking, dreaming, and recognizing your voice.

Development at Week 28

At 28 weeks, your baby's brain can regulate body temperature and control breathing rhythms. The bone marrow has fully taken over red blood cell production, and the lungs are nearly ready to function independently. Your baby is becoming increasingly responsive to external stimuli, including your voice and music.

Next week

At week 29, your baby will be the size of a Butternut Squash.
