What are the changes in the baby in the 24th week of pregnancy?

Your baby continues to develop bone and muscle tissue depending on what you eat and drink. Kicking and punching movements become stronger. The calcium you will take this week is very important for your baby's bone development. In fact, your baby meets his own calcium needs even if you do not take calcium, but since he will meet it from the calcium content in your bones, your bones may become weaker. Starting from this week, your baby's perceptions have started to become stronger and he has started to progress towards becoming an individual.
