Pregnancy Week by Week/Week 25: Breathing

Week 25: Breathing
This week marks important milestones in your baby's lung development as surfactant begins to form. Surfactant is a crucial substance that helps the lungs expand with oxygen after birth, preparing your baby for breathing outside the womb. Additionally, your baby's nose and nostrils are starting to function, practicing breathing movements in preparation for life outside the uterus.
You may also notice that your baby's hair is beginning to develop color and texture, adding to their unique features. Your baby is now about the size of a cucumber.
Your Body During Week 25
Your body is undergoing significant changes to support your growing baby. You might notice that your hair becomes thicker and more lustrous during this time. However, you may also experience pelvic girdle pain or pubic symphysis dysfunction (SPD) as your body prepares for childbirth. Itchy skin, especially on your breasts and belly, can continue to be bothersome. Insomnia is common as it becomes harder to find a comfortable sleeping position with your growing belly. Your cardiovascular system is working harder, which can sometimes cause dizziness. Additionally, gas and bloating may occur as your digestive system adjusts.
Hati Health Tips for Week 25
To help you navigate these changes comfortably, here are some tips from Hati Health:
- Consult your OB-GYN through the Hati Health website if you experience strong pelvic pains or discomfort.
- Keep your skin moisturized using a pregnancy-safe moisturizer to alleviate itching.
- Snack on healthy sweets to satisfy cravings without compromising nutrition.
- Create a relaxing bedtime routine to improve sleep quality despite insomnia.
Remember, every pregnancy is unique. Always reach out to your healthcare provider if you have concerns or unusual symptoms.
