Baby development at week 24
Week 24 is often discussed in viability conversations with medical support. Lungs and brain still have major maturation ahead. Facial features look more filled out.
Average size estimates for week 24 are about 30.0 cm and 600 g — roughly ear of corn. Your ultrasound report and clinician’s dating override any website average.
What you might feel
Glucose screening is commonly offered around now in many regions. Anxiety about results is normal.
You are in the second trimester. Two pregnancies at the same week can feel completely different — treat these notes as orientation, not a checklist you must match.
Noticing movement in week 24
