With a balloon of a tummy, you are enjoying the attention you get when you are walking down the store aisle. People are going out of the way to assist the ‘to-be-mother’. But back home, it is a different story. Ouch! Where did all those aches come from? Your doctor warns you about painful Hemorrhoids due to the increasing pressure on your lower back. You might have trouble with bowel movements. Rectal bleeding may occur. Digestion goes kaput and you might experience constipation and more heartburn.
The key is to tackle these problems naturally. Monitor your food intake and take good fluids. Fatty and spicy food is a strict no-no. Fatigue is common, but sleeping comfortably is near-impossible at this stage. Well, you have to grin and bear it. Take warm baths and try some Kegel exercises after consulting your doctor.
As for the baby, development is on. The ears especially, have developed well and the baby might also be able to hear you talk. Also, your baby now has rest and activity periods. At times, the fetal movement is very pronounced and at times, it is somewhat quiet in there. The lungs are almost developed. The baby should be about 9 inches long by now, weighing about a pound and 8 ounces.
