All About Baby 16 Weeks Pregnant
Baby Size and Weight
Progressing to the sixteenth week, the embryo now resembles the size of an avocado, extending to 4.6 inches in length and weighing 3.53 ounces. During this period, the embryo’s skin becomes covered in fine hair called lanugo, and its skeletal system continues to ossify, indicating increased structural development.
Key Developments
Development of fat stores, increased movement and activity
Fat stores begin to develop beneath the baby’s skin, aiding in temperature regulation. Increased movement and activity become more noticeable as the baby explores its confined space.
