Weekly Guide to Pregnancy: Week 20
Your Baby
How big is my baby?
Fetal size: 14-16cm (crown to rump)
25cm total length
Fetal weight: 315g (9 ounces).
You have now reached the half way mark in your pregnancy! Your baby's skin has now formed two layers - the epidermis (outer layers) and the dermis (deep skin tissue). From 20 weeks, your baby's skin starts to secrete vernix (a white pasty substance that protects your baby's skin from the amniotic fluid). The vernix will be present on your baby's skin at birth.
