Your baby

When you are in your 24th week, your baby's taste buds are developping. Your baby is as big as a papaya and weighs 600 grams. If unfortunately, your little one is prematurely born he or she can sustain themselves.

Your Body

Your skin is stretching really quick and will get itchy. At this stage, red lines may come over your tummy, breasts and buttocks. These will fade to light silvery lines with time, these are called stretch marks. Rub on some cream with a shea butter base to help soothe your skin.
