Pregnancy Week 25

What Your Baby is Doing This Week

Your baby's hearing should be very developed by this week. Loud noises may cause the baby in your belly to jump and if you have something to say to your baby, start talking as your baby should be able to hear your voice.

What Your Body is Doing This Week

Many women start experiencing pregnancy heartburn this week. The hormones of pregnancy relax all the muscles in your body, including the sphincter that is supposed to keep your stomach closed. Along with the extra pressure your stomach is getting from below from the ever-expanding uterus, you can get a killer case of heartburn after every meal. The solution that works for most women is to eat smaller, more frequent meals and avoid spicy or fatty foods to keep your heartburn to a minimum from now until delivery. Talk to your health care provider before you take even over-the-counter heartburn remedies.
