Week Eighteen Pregnancy

Welcome to week by week pregnancy this is Week Eighteen Pregnancy and during Week 18 of your pregnancy. This is a really exciting time for your baby at this phase of development that the baby becomes more active. The baby became a turnover stretch punch kick. Baby's brain is developing more neural pathways as well so that as baby kicks and punches it can sense its own body parts. You may not be able to feel these movements yet but you will very soon in the weeks ahead. Your baby weighs about 6 ounces and is about 5.5 inches long about the size of this mango. Your baby nerves are developing covering protective sheets it's called the myelin sheath. Baby's eyes are in the correct position and the ears are in their final spot too and they just might stick out a little bit. Your body is changing too you may find that you're not going to the loo quite as often as he used to but that's because your uterus indeed is growing but it is lifted itself out of the pelvis so because it's a little less pressure on your bladder. Your blood volume is increasing so this may cause the veins of your arms and legs or other body parts to be a little more prominent. It can also cause nose bleeds those tiny vessels within your nose can rupture easily so if you keep well hydrated or you can use a nasal lubricant can help. If you do have a nose bleed you can use pressure and or ice or both to alleviate the bleeding if this doesn't work please call your doctor. Read the full article
