Development at 19 Weeks

During week 19, vernix caseosa — a protective waxy coating — begins forming on the skin. Brain regions are developing rapidly at this stage. The anatomy scan, often scheduled around this week or week 20, may provide detailed information about development. The fetus is approximately the size of a mango. Sensory development is progressing.
