Week 18 – your week by week pregnancy

Your baby is about 12cm long from crown to rump and she weighs about 190g. Her chest moves up and down to mimic breathing. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin, and her ears are now in their final position, although they’re still standing out from her head a bit. If you’re having a girl, the vagina, uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes are in place. If it’s a boy, his genitals will be distinct and recognisable.
