I am not as strict to my diet unlike my first pregnancy. Now I eat anything I want and husband would let me sip soda or coffee – these two were forbidden by husband on my first pregnancy! I eat fruits when husband and daughter are feasting on them, and try to eat vegetables too. I know the baby needs more of healthy food now so I try my best to give that to him. It’s sometimes hard to sit or stand quickly as I feel a pain right below my tummy. I guess the baby’s location is so low this time. I have to ask my OB about that on my next visit. It sometimes worries me.
I just cannot wait for my 20th week when we can finally have my ultrasound so as to know his gender.
Here’s the Baby @ 17 weeks:
Your baby is forming brown fat deposits under his or her skin, by the end of pregnancy this will account for 2-6% of their total body weight. This will help them maintain their body temperature when they are born. The baby weighs in at about 5 ounces (142 grams). This means that the baby now weighs more than the placenta. No new structures have formed.Loud noises outside may actually cause the baby to startle.
It’s okay to sip a cup of coffee basta’t hinde lang sobra.Try to eat more veggies dear and please don’t stress yourself out,masama yan sa juntis^_^
