Week-by-Week Fetal Development

Week 26

The baby is growing fatter by the week as fat stores are beginning to develop. His head seems in much better proportion to his body, which will continue to grow fast.

This is the week when the 'bronchi' develops. These are the branches of your baby's lungs, and they are growing fast in preparation for your baby's birth, in order to help him to breathe. But the lungs will not fully develop until after he or she is born.
