What’s fascinating to me is the shape of the kid’s hands in the third picture. Are the fingers lacking the last knuckle? Also, look at the thumb. It appears long compared to the fingers.
Very interesting. Since the baby sitting on the mother’s lap appears to have normal hands, I am assuming at 5 months, the baby’s hands are not yet fully formed. Yet they were able to keep the baby alive even so. Some day they will be keeping them alive before they even have limbs I suspect. Then what will the abortionists have to say?
A twenty-five week baby is perfect in every aspect. Hands and feet are totally normal. There just is not very much subcutaneous tissue, so bones and skin can make the thumb look long and skinny.
The fingers (and toes) in all babies start out fully webbed, and gradually the webbing disappears as the digits become more fully developed. I’m not sure how the degree of gestational age corresponds to the normal degree of webbing, but it’s also possible that the webbing on this baby was more present than normal for this gestational age, since obviously things weren’t going entirely normally with this pregnancy or she wouldn’t have been born over 3 months ahead of schedule.
