The second trimester is ending. The baby can open and close their eyes and has established sleep-wake patterns. They hiccup regularly, which you might feel as rhythmic little jolts. The lungs are maturing but would still need support if the baby were born now. The baby weighs about 1,000g and is roughly 36.6cm from head to toe.
The third trimester starts next week. You may already be feeling some third-trimester symptoms: shortness of breath, trouble sleeping, swollen ankles, and more frequent Braxton Hicks. Your midwife appointments will become more frequent soon. Enjoy the last week of the second trimester.
The third trimester begins at week 28 and runs until birth (typically around week 40). It is the final stretch where your baby gains the most weight and the lungs and brain undergo final maturation. Antenatal appointments become more frequent.
