The lungs aren’t the only system that’s gearing up for air intake. Your baby’s nostrils and nose are starting to work this week, too. This allows your little one to begin taking practice breaths.
It was previously believed that the nostrils stay plugged up until around now in the pregnancy, but the latest research shows they open much earlier and stay that way through all three trimesters.
Of course, since there’s no air in there, your baby is really only “breathing” amniotic fluid, but it’s the practice that counts, right?
Baby could also be able to smell various scents in utero by this week, too. If not, that sense will kick in by the third trimester.
