The skin will now be covered with a white, waxy substance called vermix. This protects the skin from the amniotic fluid in which the baby is constantly immersed. There is still very little fat under the skin so the baby's body will appear thin on ultrasound scans.

Girl Babies - The womb and vagina have formed by this stage.
