Mom, I'm like a lemon (8.7cm, 43 grams)

My movements become significantly more complex and coordinated. I can now touch my face with both hands, suck my thumb, and even make facial expressions thanks to developing facial muscles. Eyes move from the sides of my head toward the front, taking a more human position. Skin is covered with fine hair called lanugo, which together with vernix caseosa (white fatty substance) forms a protective system. The thyroid begins producing thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), which are crucial for brain development and metabolism. If I'm a girl, ovaries begin producing primordial egg cells.

Remember mom, every child develops at their own pace and has their unique timeline. If you have any doubts about my development in your belly, consult with a doctor.
