Week 20 !!!!!!!!!!

WEEK 20











How far along? 20 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I think I'm at 135 now (Mommy and baby are growing!)

Maternity clothes? Still just the  leggings & belly band
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Love it! Only getting up once in the middle of the night for bathroom break, besides that I can sleep great :)
Best moment this week: Going to different baby stores with Wyatt and finally being able to shop for Mia. Of course, without going crazy!
Miss Anything? I have a sour taste in my mouth all the time, no matter how many times I brush my teeth or what I eat or drink and I miss the times when I didn't! lol
Movement: I am starting to feel some movement and it makes me smile every time!! Feeling it when I'm on the couch or go to bed or wake up. Its still very light (Wyatt can't feel it, plus every time she does move and he tries to feel it she stops lol) but I know it's her :)
Food cravings: not really...well chocolate...and sweet stuff after dinner....the usual lol
Anything making you queasy or sick: the taste in my mouth, if I'm hungry I feel sick, and can't have too much dairy.
Have you started to show yet: Yes a lot more!
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, a bit stressed out with future plans, but happy :)

Looking forward to:  next weekend, more shopping, and more movement from baby girl :)

Week Twenty: The halfway point

  
Congratulations!
You are halfway through your pregnancy, 20 weeks marks the midpoint. Remember, pregnancy is counted as 40 weeks from the beginning of your last period if you go full term.

You are 20 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 18 weeks)
  • Baby now weighes about 11 ounces and is roughly 7 inches long.
  • Baby is 17cm long crown to rump, and weighs about 310 grams.
  • The baby can hear and recognize the mother's voice.
  • The mother will probably start feeling the first fetal movements.
  • The toenails and fingernails are growing.
  • The growth of hair on the rest of the body has started.
  • The skin is getting thicker.
  • The heart can now be heard with a stethoscope.
Your baby may react to loud sounds. Baby can actually hear noises outside of the womb. Familiar voices, music, and sounds that baby becomes accustomed to during their development stages often are calming after birth. This is an important time for sensory development since nerve cells serving each of the senses; taste, smell, hearing, sight, and touch are now developing into their specialized area of the brain.

Your baby now weighes about 11 ounces and at roughly 7 inches long they are filling up more and more of the womb. Though still small and fragile, the baby is growing rapidly and could possibly survive if born at this stage.

NoteNote: Babies are measured from the crown (or top) of the head to the rump (or bottom) until about 20 weeks. After that, they are measured from head to heel. This is because a baby's legs are curled up against the torso during the first half of pregnancy and very hard to measure.

Weight: 10.6 ounces - 300 grams
Length: 
(crown to rump) 6.5 inches - 16.5 cm
(crown to heel) 10 inches - 25.5 cm.
