The Week Eyebrows Appear — Week 22

Your baby says

Something called eyebrows is appearing on my face, they say. I haven't decided what to do with them yet.

What may be happening this week

During this period, eyebrows and eyelashes may become more distinct; the lips and eyelids also keep taking shape. How visible these details are can vary from one ultrasound to the next.

A note for you

For the mother, looking at ultrasound images and searching for resemblances can be fun this week. For the father or partner, joining in on the guessing is one way to be part of these days.

Let the question of who I take after stay open for now. Guessing is enough this week.

Sizes are averages and every baby grows at their own pace. This page is general information, not medical advice.
