    Can you candle the egg and look for veins. When baby is absorbed you can see through I don’t want him to swallow plastic wrap so I’m a bit worried If you see veins maybe stick him in a cup and wrap dry paper towel around him but not covering his face

    You could tell when it got into the air cell so count 48-72 hours from then I find the bigger the opening the longer they take. They aren’t as rushed ti get air

    I would close the hole for now No need for air in there with baby not in Even after he internal pips I would leave the hole covered and only make a tiny hole in the kitchen wrap Big holes for that long will cause the membrane to dry over him
