Vernix caseosa, a cream cheese-like substance produced by the sebaceous glands that serves as a protective skin covering during intrauterine life, begins to form. Definite sleeping and activity patterns are distinguishable (the fetus has developed biorhythms that will guide sleep/wake patterns throughout life). Month 6 Second Trimester At the end of 6 months: Length: 28 to 36 cm. Weight: 550 g. Passive antibody transfer from mother to fetus probably begins as early as the 20th week of gestation, certainly by the 24th week of gestation.
