All About Baby 23 Weeks Pregnant
Baby Size and Weight
In the twenty-third week, the embryo expands to the size of a grapefruit, measuring 11.4 inches in length and weighing 1.1 pounds. During this stage, the baby’s skin becomes less wrinkled as it continues to accumulate fat, and its sensory organs become more responsive to external stimuli, fostering increased awareness.
Key Developments
The baby’s hearing continues to develop, and the lungs begin producing surfactant, a substance crucial for respiratory function. This marks a critical milestone in lung maturation.
