The 23rd week is a significant week in your second trimester in the pregnancy calendar. Having difficulty waddling around with a huge belly? Welcome to the 23rd week. The most noticeable changes in your body are the skin discolorations. Stretch marks are rampant and no cream seems to prevent the dark line linea nigra. This line marks the separation of your navel and your pubic region. Even your areolas are large and darkly colored. Your feet are as swollen as ever, and you also begin to feel a little weird in the head due to hormone fluctuation.
Chloasma or the ‘pregnancy mask’ is common. so don’t get too worried if you notice pigmentation on your face and arms. Forget bleaches; use the creams your doctor tells you to. Heartburns might be troubling you. Frequent urination and painful cramps might make it difficult for you to sleep well, but try to keep yourself comfortable and relax. Lie on your side. This is good for you and your baby too.
Your presently one pound weighing baby is very energetic around this time and the constant kicking and moving will excite you but also tire you. Take some bed rest, well, lots of it.
