How your baby is growing now

Team AckoFeb 25, 2025

This week will bring a layer of fat called myelin on your baby’s spinal cord to increase the metabolism and also help in passing the messages clearly to the brain of your baby. The little one is developing at a faster rate. Your baby will get a layer of fat under the skin that will keep warm and safe inside your womb. The soft cartilage will grow into hard bones giving your baby a firm shape. The head and neck of your baby will be seen prominently now during an ultrasound as the curvy body of your baby will straighten up now.

Prioritising Financial Security for Your Growing Family

The fingertips and toes will get imprints with complete creases and swirls and your baby’s heart will be regulated by the brain. The umbilical cord will grow stronger and thicker now and give immunity and nutrients to your baby for safe development inside the womb. In your this week’s ultrasound, you will be able to identify almost all the body parts of your baby as your baby has fully developed all the organs and they are clearly visible now.

Prioritising Financial Security for Your Growing Family

Ensuring your family's financial stability is just as important as maintaining a healthy diet throughout pregnancy for the health of your child. A comprehensive health insurance plan safeguards you from unexpected medical expenses, offering peace of mind during challenging times.

Equally crucial is securing your family's financial future through life insurance. You can protect your loved ones' future by choosing the best life insurance plan based on your needs. While a 1 crore life insurance policy, such as whole life, endowment plan, Ulip, etc., offers complete protection, a term insurance plan provides coverage at the lowest cost.

Term insurance provides pure life coverage for a specific period. The sum assured can cover various expenses for your loved ones, including clearing debts, funding children’s education, managing daily living expenses and more, in your absence. When deciding on a policy, an online term plan calculator helps you compare options and choose the best one for your family's needs.
