Pregnancy Week 24 ~
It is now 23 weeks from your last menstrual
period. Your baby is now at 21 weeks gestation and is almost 8 inches
long from crown to rump (11inches from head to toe).
Your baby is taking iron and calcium from
you. Make sure you are getting enough! Your baby can hear your heartbeat
and the rumblings in your tummy now.
Chomp! The buds for baby's permanent teeth
are forming.
Advice
for Mom
Although it will be a while before
your baby is mobile, it's not too early to think about child-proofing
your home.
Worried about labor
and childbirth? That's very normal! If you prepare your mind
and your body now, you should be able to reduce your anxiety
some. Prenatal classes are wonderful, as is reading
about labour & delivery.
Don't hold it in! Did you
know that making a habit out of not urinating when you feel the
need increases the risk that your enflamed bladder may irritate
the uterus and set off contractions?
