Your baby's central nervous system and lungs are nearly fully mature, making a birth at this stage much safer than in earlier weeks.

Development at Week 34

At 34 weeks, the vernix caseosa coating the skin is thickening to protect the skin during the final weeks in the womb. Your baby's fingernails now reach the fingertips and may need trimming shortly after birth. Fat reserves are accumulating rapidly, adding approximately 226 grams per week in these final weeks.

Next week

At week 35, your baby will be the size of a Honeydew Melon.
