At this time in your pregnancy your baby is about 17.1 inches long and weighs over 4 lbs. As your pregnancy continues your baby will continue to get longer and gain weight. http://bit.ly/STdIjY

The most interesting part of watching my body change

is the unfurling of my (super-innie) belly button.

You’re now 30 weeks pregnant. At this time in your pregnancy you’re most likely feeling heavier and more awkward than you have before. Your baby’s eyesight continues to develop, though it’s not yet very keen.http://bit.ly/TM6P5u

If you haven’t seen this yet, you probably should. This is Georgia from Documenting Delight, birthing her second baby. You should also follow her on facebook , because she attends and films many births these days, and sometimes we are lucky enough to have them shared with us. She’s also an amazing photographer.

Watching births like this fill me with love and give me added confidence in my birthing abilities.

While 25 weeks pregnant you’re one week closer to bringing your baby into the world. Your baby is beginning to exchange it’s long, lean look for some baby fat. Your baby’s wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and start to look more and more like a newborn. Your baby is also growing more hair.http://bit.ly/RHOM1Z

While 23 weeks pregnant your belly is still growing. As the uterus grows it pushes some of the other organs around and against each other. With the sense of movement of your baby well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. http://bit.ly/THKT98

I am really REALLY overwhelmed.

You’re now 18 weeks pregnant, your baby must be busy flexing his arms and legs. His blood vessels are visible through his skin and his ears are now in their final position. http://bit.ly/11SKQgT
