Pregnancy Week 21 – You Have a Miniature Baby!

When you are 21 weeks pregnant, you will be gaining more weight and fat along with your growing baby. You might face some swelling problems due to increased weight and the pressure put on the legs. These problems will subside naturally and can be even tackled with the help of maternity support belts and hoses. They help you in avoiding the discomfort in the ankles throughout your pregnancy.

The uterus continues its growth and is now pressing against your rectum. Due to increased blood flow and increased levels of pregnancy hormones, you may experience sensitive gums which may even bleed in some women. Despite all these changes, you will be comfortable and in full swing pregnancy mode. However, regular exercises and stretching are suggested to alleviate these discomforts.

Inside, the baby’s organ systems continue to develop preparing for the life outside. The umbilical cord starts thickening and growing as more blood travels through it from you to the baby.

The baby’s digestive system too develops as much that the tiny intestines will contract and expand as your little one absorbs small amounts of amniotic fluid. Your baby’s eye brows and the eye lids are also completely grown now.

Your baby’s growth will slow a little now as more concentration is developing the organs and the central nervous system. Your baby can now hear you if you speak and sing.

Maintain your physical well being by doing regular but light exercises that help in better circulation both for you and to your baby.

Your uterus is continuously growing and is a little above your navel when you are 22 weeks pregnant. While the baby presents high paced changes, this is the time when you will notice some skin changes in you. The continuously pushing uterus leaves some stretch marks on your belly which cause itchiness.

There are a variety of lotions that help you in limiting these stretch marks. Even though you cannot completely prevent these stretch marks, you should consider using rich moisturizers to keep your skin subtle, smooth and glowing after the delivery.

Foot and leg cramps, mild swelling on the ankles and feet, and a slight increase in the heart rate are some common conditions seen in this week of pregnancy. These are quite normal and only indicate that your body is working a little harder.

Pregnancy week 22 also marks for significant changes in your baby too. The hands have grown stronger and bigger and the nerve ending have developed the sense of touch. The baby will now be able to touch and grab and feel the senses. The brain is still continuing its growth as it will until your little one is 5 years old.

The growth of the taste buds help the baby in detecting the strong flavors in the amniotic fluid. Your baby now almost weighs a pound and measure about 11 inches.

Concentrate more on your diet and see to it that the food you eat is balanced and nutritious. Poor diet can have severe consequences on the physical and mental health of your baby.

A Week Of This $9.39 A brilliant, darkly comic, and startlingly honest novel, A Week of This follows the lives of an extended family over one increasingly desperate week. At the centre of the novel is 38-year-old Manda, a tough, sarcastic woman who has yet to make peace with the town she was brought to as a teenager after her parents’ messy divorce. Her estranged mother is crazy, her father is ill and in retreat, her damaged older brother is growing restless and distant, her stepbrother is a grown-up teenager without any real friends, and her husband is a tight-lipped, depressed store-owner who has been pressing Manda to have a baby. Full of barbed dialogue and hilariously deadpan descriptions of family dynamics and the kind of awkward social dances that get performed every day, A Week of This is a book for people who always feel a little out of place, right where they are. People who are smart enough to know something has gone wrong, but can’t figure out how to fix it. People who know they aren’t kids anymore, but are not quite ready to grow up. " A Week of This is bleak, funny, sad, smart, and unlike any novel I have ever read. The lives of these characters are so richly imagined I could taste the furnace dust, smell the backed-up sewer, feel the thump of every hangover. It’s an authentic, unsentimental literary experiment that doesn’t read like an experiment. Nathan Whitlock has exposed the timeless heart of lower-middle-class everywhere."- Todd Babiak, author of The Book of Stanley and The Garneau Block .

The Miraculous World of Your Unborn Baby the Miraculous World of Your Unborn Baby: A Week-By-Week Guide to Your Pregnancy a Week-B $3.95 Your baby is yet to be born . . . but she’s listening, learning, and aware of the outside world Traditionally, the world of an as-yet-unborn baby was thought to be an isolated and silent one. It was assumed that, asleep and growing in its mother’s womb, the developing baby was incapable of experiencing sight, sound, thought, or emotion. In fact, the truth is very different, as bestselling author Nikki Bradford reveals here. Drawing on the latest research by leading authorities in the field, the author explains how the unborn baby’s awareness of the outside world develops rapidly from very early in pregnancy. Did you know that unborn babies respond to sound, and duck away from strong light, as early as 16 weeks? That they have been observed shying away from–and even attacking–an amniocentesis needle at around the same time? That babies follow moving light sources with their hands by 20 weeks? Or that they recognize music and nursery rhymes from 33 weeks? "The Miraculous World of Your Unborn Baby" not only offers you unique insights into your child’s remarkable mental and physical developments in the womb, but also provides wide-ranging information on pregnancy and childbirth. This information is featured in comprehensive sections on: How babies grow, week-by-week: Stunning color photographs enable you to follow the physical development of your baby. Did you know that the first heartbeat can be detected at about five weeks, and that fingernails appear by ten weeks? Your pregnancy and birth: Just how does the body cope with it all? Advice and information are provided on every stage of pregnancy. What babies can do in the womb: The latest research findings about unborn babies’ emotional awareness and learning abilities; the evidence of communication (and telepathy) between babies and mothers. What unborn babies know: What babies hear, sense, experience, dream–and remember–about being born and being in the womb. Looks at babies’ emotional development, including reactions to your various moods. Nikki Bradford has written "The Miraculous World of Your Unborn Baby" in consultation with leading experts in the field: San Diego-based Dr. David B. Chamberlain, President of the International Association for Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health, and arguably the world authority on prenatal psychology; Professor Geoffrey Chamberlain, past President of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the United Kingdom; and Dr. Sammy Lee, an acclaimed London-based consultant embryologist.
