Mom, I'm like a banana (16.4cm, 300 grams)

This is exactly the middle of pregnancy - we're halfway there! My movements are regularly felt, and their pattern begins stabilizing - I already have favorite positions and activity periods. The digestive system is developed enough that I produce meconium in the intestines, a dark, sticky substance composed of swallowed amniotic fluid, bile, lanugo, and shed epithelial cells. I can already distinguish different tastes in amniotic fluid - sweet from bitter, and what you eat affects the taste of this fluid. Skin becomes less transparent thanks to developing subcutaneous tissue. Vernix not only protects skin but also has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

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.
