By the twenty-third week of pregnancy, issues like skin discolorations or stretch marks become a concern to many of the first time mothers.
In addition to the noticeable stretch marks, your body will undergo various other changes while preparing itself for the scheduled delivery. For instance, the uterine muscle will begin having contractions to signal that it is getting prepared for delivery. Signs of premature labor can also be felt during this phase. The key cause of premature labor is dehydration. This makes premature labor more likely to occur in the summertime. This should once again emphasize the importance of drinking a plentiful amount of water every day.
Preclampsia is a situation that a few expectant mothers might encounter. Medically, it is state of significant swelling all over the face and hands, weight gain, blurry vision and continual headaches. Any expecting mother experiencing such symptoms should make an appointment with the practitioner at the earliest. Preeclampsia can prevent the placenta from receiving enough blood, thus depriving your baby of essential nutrients and lower oxygen levels, possibly resulting in low birth weights and other problems.
The Baby's Growth Chart In Week 23
The child weighs approximately one pound and is about 11 inches long. The skin is translucent and baby has a thin figure, but it will soon fill up with baby fat. In about a week, the child's lungs will develop branches of the respiratory tree and cells that produce surfactant, to help with the air sacs inflation.
About Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are basically streaks in the skin and are an issue faced by the majority of women during their later stages of pregnancy. Bright red or purplish in color, stretch marks are prominently visible on lower abdominal and can also be found on buttocks, thighs, hips, and breasts. The key cause of stretch marks is the expanding belly to accommodate the child. This expansion results in changes in the elastic supportive tissue that lies just beneath the skin.
Unfortunately there are no sure-fire ways to prevent pregnancy stretch marks. Thankfully most of them disappear in the 6 to 12 months that follow pregnancy. If you feel that you must undertake a specific stretch mark removal treatment, there are various options available. Topical medications or laser treatment are among the few medical treatment paths to select from. The best home remedy for stretch marks is to gain no more than 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. However, pregnancy is a time when more important concerns like proper nutritional intake and child's health must be taken as a priority over stretch marks. Therefore, while in the second trimester of pregnancy, just eat and drink well and leave concerns like stretch marks to fade away at a later date.
