Week 22 of your Pregnancy

You

Goodbye waistline! The top of your uterus now extends around 3 cm above your naval and you’re now looking pregnant – in a neat and tidy way. Enjoy! There’s still lots of room to move for both you and your growing baby. It’s a good time to plan any decorating or other changes you’ll be making to your home to accommodate your new baby – while you’ve still got lots of energy.

Baby

Your baby is now starting to develop a regular sleeping and waking rhythm – and he’s starting to react to his outside environment. He will be able to hear the sounds of a normal conversation and music – if you want to start reading some stories to him or working up his own special ‘chill-out’ playlist, any time from now will be fine!
