Visible
changes in my body: upper
part of the bump is sticking out more, didn't put any weight since my
sickly first trimester
Other: had
my 25th weeks midwife appointment where they were very concerned over
my high blood pressure, after I visited hospital twice they didn't
confirm it could be pre-eclamsia so told me to enjoy my pregnancy! I
was also told that they are no NHS antenatal classes in my area, that
they will only talk through about breastfeeding on one on one
session, which is extremely disappointing as a first-timer I have no
clue what to expect from labour.
How
do I feel: all the headaches and sickness are gone (touch
wood); feeling tired quicker, had a 4 hours walk on a weekend after
which my back was killing me
Cravings: still
none
Fitness: Walking
almost every day for max. 25 minutes and swimming once a week
Baby: At 25weeks Head
to heels, baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight —
1 1/2 pounds. Our baby can still turn somersaults but it won’t be
long until there’s not enough room in there! They will be able to
hear loud noises which may cause them to jump, and you may notice
extra kicks when you’re in the bath or shower too.
While
your baby is in the womb, their temperature is maintained by the
placenta, but by this week they will begin to develop fat which will
help regulate their temperature once they are born.
