Fact #32! Week 32: Starting at this time, true alveoli or air “pocket” cells, begin forming from alveolar ducts. Development of alveoli continues through birth and until about 8 years of age. Their skin is now soft and smooth as they continue to take on fat, gaining around half a pound per week. Their skin is a lot less transparent and more opaque as the fat continues to develop.
Babies can also dream at this stage! The bones are also continuing to harden, except for the bones in the skull. Those stay soft to help the baby's head to be born safely. #40weeks40facts
