How your baby is growing?
At 22 weeks, your baby now has the proportions of a newborn, although he's still got a lot of weight to gain before the birth. His skin still looks wrinkled because he has only one per cent body fat. His eyes have now formed, too, although the iris isn't coloured yet. His pancreas, which will help regulate his hormones, is under development, too.
Your baby's brain is developing fast, and his brainwave patterns are now similar to a newborn's – he's developing the very beginnings of conscious thought. Scientists believe that at this stage, unborn babies already have a primitive memory, and some even think that they can dream. Certainly, he can already distinguish between your voice and your other half's.
What's happening to you
Physically, you're getting steadily bigger. Your uterus will now measure 22cm from the top of your pubic bone, and you'll probably have gained at least 6kg (a stone). From now on, you can expect to gain around half a pound a week, but try to keep your cravings under control – putting on too much weight at this stage puts you at greater risk of gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia.
The second trimester is often described as the honeymoon period, because you should be feeling fit and well.
Wow! Did you know...
At 22 weeks, your baby has hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, but they don't contain any pigment yet – they're pure white.
