Pregnancy Calendar - Week24
This week is another big week for your growing baby as it now has ears, fingernails, lungs and if a boy he will have testicles. The baby is still breathing in amniotic fluid as their lungs are getting practice for breathing in oxygen when born. By the end of this week the baby will be around 2lbs and 14inches long.
Your baby continues to do its break dancing. You’ll start to get annoyed at this stage will people wanting to touch your pregnant belly. Don’t fret. Just try to think of some funny one liner you can use to put people off when they ask if they can touch your pregnant belly.
If your face and hands start to swell significantly, and you are suffering from excessive weight gain, blurry vision and bad headaches or a pain in your belly, you might be suffering from preeclampsia. High blood pressure and proteins in your urine also diagnose preeclampsia. Preeclampsia can prevent the placenta from receiving sufficient blood and depriving the baby of the needed nutrients and oxygen. This can result in low birth weights and other problems, if you want to know more, you should speak to your Doctor.
