In the week-by-week pregnancy process, you have reached the 20th week of pregnancy and your pregnancy process is now halfway through. Your excitement about your baby is getting more and more. So, what happens in the 20th week of pregnancy? How much is a 20-week baby? What does a 20-week baby look like? How many months pregnant am I? It is one of the questions you are most curious about.
Yeditepe University Hospitals Gynecology and Obstetrics Department Head and IVF Specialist Prof. Dr. Erkut Attar answered the questions about the 20th week of pregnancy.
How Big is a 20-Week baby?
The baby's height, which was previously measured as head-to-butt length, will be measured as head-to-heel this week and the baby is 25.6 cm long and weighs 300 grams. At this point, you are in the middle of your pregnancy and your baby is the size of a banana.
Baby Development at 20 Weeks of Pregnancy
The ultrasound to be performed during these weeks will detect any abnormalities in the baby. Data such as head and abdomen circumference and the length of the femur will be evaluated to determine height and weight.
The previously mentioned vernix caseosa is formed from the pores (cavities) in the skin and protects your baby's delicate skin. When the baby is born, it is born with this material covering its skin and provides support for the skin to adapt to the transition from the liquid environment in the womb to the dry environment we live in. Even though the baby has doubled its weight by 3-4 weeks, it is still deficient in fat, so it looks wrinkled. From this week onwards, weight gain will increase even more.

Are ready-made fruit juices or convenience foods dangerous?
Again, pregnant women should be careful with ready-to-eat and frozen foods. These substances, such as fruit juices, canned food, and other canned foods, contain preservatives to preserve their freshness. Excessive consumption of these substances will lead to excessive intake of these substances, which may have harmful effects and may have a negative impact on pregnancy.
