You are currently 18 weeks pregnant

What is going on with your baby during week 18?

Your baby now measures 5-5½ inches (12.5-14cm) and weighs about 5¼ oz (150g). Your baby is continuing to grow and develop but the rapid growth rate slows down a little. Baby has a more human appearance now. Body hair is becoming coarser, eyelashes are beginning to appear on your baby's eyelids, baby's lips have formed, taste buds have started to develop, and regardless of gender, nipples are starting to develop on top of the mammary glands. The placenta is approximately half an inch thick and 3 inches across. By the time you deliver it will be 1½ inches thick and about 10-12 inches across.
