FOETAL DEVELOPMENT AT 28TH WEEK OF PREGNANCY

Written by theprincelives on 1. November 2015 18:14 o'clock

28 WEEKS
(30 WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF THE LAST NORMAL MENSTRUAL PERIOD)
OPEN EYES
At this stage, the fetus has lungs capable of respiration, although it may need medical assistance to do so.
Fat is beginning to develop on the body of the fetus, and it is becoming more rounded.
At this point in development, the fetus can open and shut its eyes and can even cry.
The fetus is 10 - 1/2 inches long and weighs 3 pounds.
Rhythmic breathing and body temperature are now regulated by the brain (or central nervous system).
Most babies born now will survive albeit with intensive care services.
