Week 27: Taste

At 27 weeks, your baby's taste buds are now very well developed, allowing them to respond to different flavors. You might even notice your baby hiccuping in response to spicy food, which is a fascinating sign of their growing sensory abilities. Additionally, your baby is beginning to recognize familiar voices, including yours and your partner's, creating an early bond even before birth. Your baby is now about the size of a head of cauliflower.

Your Body During Week 27

As you enter the third trimester, your body undergoes several changes. Edema, or swelling, is common due to fluids building up in your tissues. You might also experience heat rashes, which can be uncomfortable but are usually manageable. Restless legs syndrome is another condition some expectant mothers face, characterized by tingling or jittery sensations in the legs, especially at night.
