What's happening at 26 weeks

Baby's eyes are about to open for the first time.

What your baby is doing

Eyelids unsealing this week. Baby blinks. The brain is developing rapidly — neuron connections multiplying by the second. Lung development continues.

What's happening to you

Glucose test results back this week or next. Back pain familiar by now. You may feel rib pain from baby's kicks reaching upward.

On the heartbeat

A great week to record one for each grandparent. Cudly captures cleanly and baby is active enough that you'll hear faint movement noises too.
