25 Weeks Pregnant - Pregnancy Week by Week

Your baby continues to grow quickly and his body and head now have the right proportions. His backbone, lungs and blood circulation have fully developed, bones have become stronger and the brain is growing. Your baby's nostrils are now open.

According to research, babies at this stage of development prefer sweet to other tastes. During this time, you may get stretch marks on your belly, breasts, and hips. They're caused by lack of collagen in the connective tissue. Skin on your belly might be tight and itchy. Your uterus is already the size of a football and continues to grow. It is putting pressure on your bladder, making you go to the toilet more often. You may start feeling cramps in your legs, a common side-effect during pregnancy.

Have you noticed that your hair appears to be thicker and lusher? This is caused by a pregnancy hormone that stops your hair from falling out. Around this time, your doctor will measure your blood sugar to determine your risk of developing gestational diabetes.

We spoke about pregnancy stretch marks at week 17. You can try to support your stomach by using supportive underwear or by wearing a special bandage. You can relieve itchiness by moisturising your skin, there is a wide choice of lotions and creams available at the pharmacy, or you can use homemade remedies such as cocoa butter, castor oil, coconut oil, aloe vera, lemon juice and tea tree oil. Also be sure to drink a lot of water to keep your skin flexible. -

My baby girl is moving like crazy right now. It’s a blessing when she kicks. You can even see her movement from the outside.

As of right now this is my goal gestation. I’ve lost 6 baby’s in the last 3 years, the first 4 were really early on in pregnancy but then we lost our son at 22 weeks 6/30/19 and then our daughter at 18+3 weeks 5/31/20. I lost them both because I went into preterm labor and my cervix opened up too early causing me to lose them before it was time so this time around Were just praying to make it to viability 😢. I’m currently 16 weeks and things are going very good, my cervix is measuring 4cm and my TAC stitch on my cervix is holding strong. I’m also supposed to start Makena progesterone shots soon too but that’s got me really nervous because with my daughter, last baby I lost, I had been totally fine the entire pregnancy until I started the shots. 2 days after the first shot I started contracting, at the apt for my second shot my doctor saw that my cervix was dilated 2cm and he could see baby’s water sac. I was given the second round of the shot anyways and sent to labor and delivery where I lost my daughter 3 days later 😭
