22 Weeks Pregnant: It’s That Time Again!

You and your spouse had been planning this for such a long time. Needless to say ushering a baby in the house is a task which will leave you not only euphoric and ecstatic but also overwhelmed to a large extent.

When you are 22 Weeks Pregnant, there will be a lot of changes taking place in the body. The baby is now a little larger than a banana at approximately 11 inches. Compared to when you are 21 weeks pregnant, the baby was then 10.5 inches. At 22 weeks pregnancy, you might or might not undergo problems. This is the time when most of the expectant mothers face a lot of problem due to discomfort and an increased incidence of nausea and morning sickness.

The baby is now much more identifiable because the facial features are gaining prominence and the lip has been fully formed. Little teeth like the canines and the incisors are forming too.

The mother on the other hand is going through a difficult phase when fine red lines better known as stretch marks have started appearing on her abdomen. It is advisable to keep the tummy moisturized at all times to prevent more stretch marks.
