Do take note of your baby's movements once you start to feel them kick
Don't push yourself, listen to your body, rest when you need to
Their muscles are growing and your baby is showing them off with moving around!
What You should expect in Week 20
HALFWAY THERE! CONGRATULATIONS! You and baby have been through A LOT to get here, but it’s about to be so worth it!
Mama, you’ve likely gained about 8 to 10 pounds since finding out you were pregnant! And you can expect to gain anywhere from 10 to 20 more pounds!
And odds are, at this point, you felt your baby move for the first time! How amazing was that experience?
As for your little one, American pregnancy reports that “your baby is beginning to produce meconium, a dark green or black, sticky substance that will constitute your baby’s first messy diaper.”
And while the plan is far from concrete, you have likely begun to form a birth plan!
It’s also not a bad idea to start thinking about what you want in your “go bag” and start making a list!
And if your partner is anxious to be involved in some way, that nursery isn’t going to build itself!
