Pregnancy Week 20


The glass is half full and half empty at 20 weeks pregnant. A long path has already been traveled and the same distance is still yet to be covered. While the barricades have taken different forms from one phase to another, pregnancy remains a tough time to deal with. Childbirth lessons, eating healthy, drinking a lot of water, exercising, petite maternity clothes and maternity body pillows can be your weapons to fight the battle.
Changes to Expect in Week 20 of Pregnancy

Sleeping will grow to be more and more uncomfortable as pregnancy progresses. The increased waistline, changes in the uterus position, stuffed internal organs, heartburn and indigestion, and cramped legs all work together to make for some restless nights. Despite tiredness and a dire requirement to sleep, there could be sleepless nights. Pregnancy body pillows might soothe the tricky situation. The top of the uterus in week 20 is almost at the belly button now. If it is your first delivery, the baby will drop or engage into the pelvis a few weeks before delivery and remain almost same until childbirth. As for the second pregnancy (or who have had more children before), this will not happen until birth.
About The Child's Development In Week 20

The baby is about 10 inches long now, again measuring from head to toe. The protective layer of the greasy white substance Vernix that began forming a few weeks earlier now covers the baby and protects him/her during pregnancy. This substance's smooth texture helps during pregnancy delivery. The child is now swallowing at a better rate than earlier and has developed teeth buds beneath the gum line. The limbs are almost proportionate to normal sizes and around this week of pregnancy, the child's eyelashes and eyebrows are almost formed.
