sixteen weeks pregnant what to expect your baby is now the size of an avocado
and weighs about three to four ounces isn't she growing quick here's
everything that's happening to your baby and your body at 16 weeks pregnant
what's my baby doing at 16 weeks pregnant the muscles in your baby's face
can now move so this week she'll start making facial expressions although she
won't really have any control over them just yet your fetus might be looking
more like a baby but she still got some way to go at the moment she's not got
any baby fat yet and her skin is still translucent do not fear both of these
will change in a few weeks time as we mentioned last week by this time in your
pregnancy your baby can hear your voice the sounds of your digestive system
don't worry she finds them reassuring and the music you play her in fact
studies have shown babies who hear a song in the womb recognize it when it's
played to them once they've been born what is my body doing at sixteen weeks
pregnant by this point in your pregnancy you should have the beginnings of a baby
bump and should notice your body starting to change it's very normal to
struggle with a weight gain that comes with pregnancy but aim for around four
pounds a month to keep your body and baby healthy
now is the time to invest in a pregnancy wardrobe you feel good in as we
mentioned last week during this stage of pregnancy the mucous membranes in your
nose also start to swell this can leave you feeling pretty congested and even
give you the odd nosebleed or two if you're really uncomfortable ask your GP
about pregnancy safe nasal sprays or try nasal strips pregnancy hormones can also
increase pigmentation on your skin which means you may notice certain areas of
your body looking darker common examples of this are the areola around your
nipple and moles freckles and birthmarks darkening in most cases pigmentation
will disappear after birth so is it anything
worried about 16 weeks pregnant symptoms growing breasts don't worry once you've
given birth and finished breastfeeding your breasts should return to their
pre-pregnancy size so there's no need to throw out your favorite bra just yet
constipation those pregnancy hormones and your expanding uterus putting
pressure on your bowel can slow things down drink more water to try and keep
things moving naturally increased discharge this is very normal and super
beneficial to your body as it protects the birth canal from infection it might
not be comfortable so invest in some panty liners varicose veins another side
effect you might not be too thrilled with minimize the appearance of these by
keeping your feet up and keeping that weight gain gradual as not to put too
much pressure on your circulatory system bleeding gums 90% of pregnant women
experience gum issues so rest assured you are not alone despite this being a
rather unspoken side-effect of pregnancy don't lie on your back after 16 weeks
after 16 weeks lying or exercising on your back can sometimes cause low blood
pressure and dizziness try to avoid lying on your back for long periods of
time
you
