7th month of pregnancy: 25th to 28th week of pregnancy

7th month of pregnancy: your baby

In the 7th month of pregnancy (25th to 28th week of pregnancy) you will soon have made it: Two thirds of the pregnancy are already behind you.

• Your baby is now around 37 cm tall in the womb and weighs around 900 to 1000 grams.
• It already looks like a real baby as it has gained muscle and fat.
• After 3 months with his eyes closed, he opens them again and can move them quickly from side to side. The baby already has eyelashes.
• Now it can also detect light sources.
• The sucking reflex is further exercised by sucking, and his toenails and fingernails become stronger and longer.
• Also, the cognitive part of the brain that babies use to think is now well developed. So it can react to its emotions and laugh or cry.
• Hearing has also been developed further, and your baby can react to noises by kicking and moving when it likes or dislikes.
• The unborn child can now feel pain and has more taste buds than when it was born.
• The skeleton hardens more and more, and the lanugo hair slowly disappears.
• If your baby were born now, it would have a good chance of surviving .
• Note: The sixth check-up is coming up.

7th month of pregnancy: Your body

Towards the end of the 7th month of pregnancy (25th to 28th week of pregnancy) your body continues to develop: your belly is currently growing significantly. Your uterus is now above the navel, giving your baby room to turn into the birthing position soon.
