My Baby This Week

Your baby now weighs about 900 grams. His head to heel length will be about 35 cm! Her lungs continue to develop – so does her hearing.

For boys, this is when their testicles beginning the descent into the scrotum – a process that takes up to 3 days.


What’s Happening To My Body?

You might be experiencing incontinency – the leakage of urine, which affects up to 50% of all pregnant mothers! The increased weight of your uterus exerts greater pressure on your bladder. This happens especially when you jump, laugh, cough, sneeze or hiccup. You can simply wear a panty liner to keep yourself dry. You should also do pelvic exercises to strengthen the muscle in the pelvic region. This is important, as incontinence may recur eventually after birth.

The exercise is simple. You need to tighten your pelvic muscles, imagining you are stopping your flow of urine midstream. Hold this for 10 seconds, then release your muscle. Repeat this 10 times. In total you should do 300 “holds” a day. You can do this anywhere, everywhere.
