6. She now has a more recognizable baby face.

7. The vernix caseosa now covers the skin completely, like a layer of thin, whitish paste.

8. By the 24th week, baby’s nostrils open.

9. Her lungs begin to develop air sacs, called alveoli, though not enough of them to sustain breathing outside the womb.

10. Baby still needs the nourishment of her mother’s womb! If she were born now her breathing would have to be assisted.
