Pregnancy Week by Week/Week 23: Propelling Food
Week 23: Propelling Food
At 23 weeks, your baby is undergoing remarkable development. One of the key milestones this week is the start of wave-like movements in the digestive tract, which help propel food along. You may also notice stronger movements such as kicks and jabs as your baby becomes more active.
Although your baby's skin is still saggy because it grows faster than fat accumulation, their ears are becoming more sensitive, picking up sounds from the environment. This increased auditory development is an exciting sign of your baby's growing awareness. Your baby is now about the size of a grapefruit
Your Body During Week 23
As your baby grows, your body continues to adapt. You might notice skin discoloration becoming more apparent, a common change during pregnancy. Nasal congestion can lead to snoring, which is another typical symptom. Additionally, an increased appetite is common as your body requires more energy to support your growing baby.
Hati Health Tips for Week 23
To stay comfortable and support your body during this stage, consider bending your knees when resting and placing a pregnancy pillow between your legs. This can help alleviate pressure and improve sleep quality.
It's also a good time to start preparing your body for labor by engaging in gentle exercises recommended for pregnancy. These activities can help strengthen your muscles and improve endurance for the upcoming delivery.
