What's Happening with Your Body
You're probably feeling fetal movement throughout the day now that your baby's getting bigger. And as she grows, your body has to make room. Your stomach will have less space to expand, meaning you may suffer heartburn and indigestion, especially at night. Add to that the fact that pregnancy hormones can slow digestion making your tummy troubles even worse. Slight swelling may make your shoes uncomfortable. Your back may also ache with the added weight of your baby bump. Your bladder is also suffering from the space crunch, so expect plenty of potty breaks.
Fluctuations in hormone levels: Pregnancy hormones may have you craving everything from pickles and ice cream to more intimacy. Keep in mind that the effects of these hormones vary for every woman, and your moods may change daily (sometimes hourly!).
Fatigue and nausea: If you've suffered strong bouts of nausea, intimacy may be the last thing on your mind. Fatigue may further zap any other desires.Weight gain: As you've watched the scale tip upwards, you may feel frumpy.
All About Baby
Your baby's brain is gro
wing daily. Her senses are also starting develop. She can hear the sound of your heart along with your breathing. As she wiggles her fingers, she may touch her face or even suck her thumb. Her lungs are becoming more mature, and she even goes through the motions of breathing. She can also swallow, although she won't have her first real meal until delivery day.
How Big Is Baby?
Your baby-to-be reaches about 7.6 inches in height (crown to rump) and weighs in at just over 12 ounces.
I love these weekly updates from babyzone.com. So much more informative. Next week I will include that cute pregnancy survey.
Hope everyone is having a great week! Any plans for Father's Day? I am hoping the rain stays away so we can enjoy something outdoors. Happy Thursday! :-)
