He yawns and stretches in the uterus from time to time.

He has very small eyebrows and eyelashes.

Fine, downy hair has formed over his face and body (lanugo).

He may suck his thumb.

His skeleton is beginning to develop, first in the form of flexible cartilage, then hard bones.

Small respiratory movements can be seen.
