Week 18 Pregnancy

• Post Time - 2019-11-18 11:27:06

In week 18 you’re experiencing a noticeable rise in your energy and a rewarding inclination towards being active and light. Also your appetite is picking up, so be careful!

However you may be starting to gain weight, as in really gain weight. This is partially die to the fact that your baby is gaining weight, he’s no probably double the size he was a month ago. And also because of more water retention in your body, let along the water surrounding your baby, which is also increasing, with the expansion and sporadic development he’s undergoing.

At this point in your pregnancy, your little one’s listening skills are hugely developing, so chose to make him listen nice music, spiritual recitations or the like. He’s now at the size of a bell pepper.

I will repeat my previous advise to you. Start wrapping up all delayed tasks that you have. Also start having the house set up to receive the new member of the family. For this, as well, need a light body and an active you. So get these things done the coming couple of months before you become really heavy.

Also consider traveling and doing different types of activities. Just make sure you consult your prenatal doctor first.

Consider joining Yoga, Aerobics or Pilates classes that are designed especially for pregnant women.

Try not to gain much weight.

Ask your doctor to provide you with a weight calculator based on your weight when your pregnancy started. This will give you an estimation of how much weight you should be gaining up till the end of your pregnancy. This will somehow put you on track and help you plan for a post- delivery plan to lose weight.

Have a nice break the coming few weeks of your pregnancy
