Baby on the 19th week of pregnancy:

In the 19 weeks pregnant, the size of the baby is about 15 cm and the weight is 250 grams. The slippery substance called vernix caseosa is added to the lanugo feathers covering the baby’s skin. The white cheesy substance called vernix caseosa covers the entire skin of the baby and protects the baby’s skin from the water it contains. When babies are born, this white vernix caseosa matter is seen on them. A person’s skin starts to wrinkle for a few hours when they are in the water, but due to the vernix caseosa, there is no wrinkle on the skin of the baby in the water for 9 months. The thin fur called Lanugo can be seen in the faces and ears of some newborn babies. The baby’s skin now begins to lose transparent image and form pigment on the skin. The placenta continues to grow and provides the baby to feed. If the baby is girl primitive egg cells in the ovaries began to occur. The baby can sleep in REM period. For this reason, it is estimated that the baby can have a dream in babies sleep.
