BETTER MATERNITY FORMATION OF ORGANS AND SYSTEMS By the end of the second trimester, most of your baby’s organs are formed and functional to some extent. For example, the kidneys begin to produce urine and the lungs start producing surfactant, a substance necessary for breathing. VERNIX AND LANUGO Your baby is now covered in a waxy coating called vernix caseosa, which protects the skin from amniotic fluid. In addition, fine hair called lanugo covers their body, which helps regulate their body temperature. SENSES AND RAPID BRAIN DEVELOPMENT Your baby's brain undergoes significant development during the second trimester. Neurons multiply and connections form at a rapid pace, laying the foundation for cognitive and neurological functions. Another exciting development is that by the end of the second trimester, your baby can hear sounds from the outside world and their eyes can detect light. Even more of a reason to start talking to them! FORMATION OF SKELETON AND GENDER DIFFERENTIATION The skeleton, initially made of cartilage, begins to harden into bone through a process called ossification. By the end of the second trimester, your baby's bones are visible on ultrasound scans. Between 18 to 22 weeks (sometimes earlier), it’s possible to determine your baby’s gender through ultrasound examination. This may help you and your partner to decide on a name.
