Congrats ma!

19weeks
please use your Lo's name instead of Zoe.

19 weeks pregnant
Zoe is developing a waxy coating that will protect her from the amniotic fluid and help her move down the birth canal when you’re both ready to finally meet! You could notice skin changes in your body at this time, just due to hormone changes and temporary extra pigmentation. The sun may exacerbate these, so always wear sunscreen if you are going to be exposed for too long.

How’s Zoe ?

The areas in the brain that control each sense are becoming further constructed, and Zoe is beginning to sprout tiny little hairs from her tiny little head. Zoe ’s coordination is growing every day as neurons make connections with her muscles, giving her better and better control over her arms and legs. Those arms and legs are pretty much in proportion with her body by now, just in time to start to become covered from head to toe in a waxy, almost cheesy-textured coating called the vernix caseosa. The vernix moisturizes skin while in the womb, protects skin from the amniotic fluid, and facilitates travel down the birth canal when it’s the time to deliver. Zoe is now measuring in at six inches long, about the size of a zucchini, and weighs about 8 ½ ounces. Things sure are moving along!

How’s mom?

Besides the normal second trimester symptoms that you are probably very familiar with by now, you might also start to notice red palms, and darkened skin in other places. These changes in pigment happen because of all of the extra estrogen and progesterone in your system, and will fade after delivery when your hormone levels start to return to normal. When these dark patches appear on your face, they are termed “chloasma”. Although they will fade after delivery and they are very unlikely to be problematic, they can be bothersome. If you’d like to minimize them, take care to apply sunscreen to your skin, because if you are exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, it can intensify the pigment discoloration. This discoloration can show up in other places, like darkening scars, and will probably darken your nipples. The nipple darkening is probably to make it easier for Zoe ’s brand new eyes to zero in for early breastfeeding, but the other changes are probably side-effects rather than evolutionary tactics.

You might also be experiencing hip pain. If this is the case for you, trying sticking a pillow between your knees and sleeping on your side- this could alleviate some of the pressure. Your rapid weight gain may cause stretch marks on your belly and legs. You may wish to use a fragrance-free moisturizer, but the best way to combat stretch marks is through prevention, which in this case is maintaining an active lifestyle and workout regimen throughout your pregnancy that promotes skin elasticity as your body continues to grow with Zoe ’s. If you need an added incentive besides Zoe ’s health to exercise, helping to prevent your own stretch marks can be the cherry on top of your pile of reasons.

Congrats esof1, creamchiccb and brownsmoothie may the Almighty God blessing your babies.
Congrats team June for rounding up with a big bang.
Finally its july then Aaaaauuuuugggggguuuuusssttttt.

20weeks
change Zoe to ya baby's name or LO.

20 weeks pregnant
You and Zoe are half way there! It’s just about time for the second trimester ultrasound, and Zoe has grown enough that there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find out her sex, with a pretty high level of accuracy, now that you’re halfway. On the other hand, though, some babies are still a little shy at this point, and may wriggle or positions themselves in a way that can make it hard for the ultrasound technician to tell their sex.

Zoe is still practicing breathing by inhaling amniotic fluid, and is starting to produce meconium, the sticky black substance that will make up her first poop. As Zoe keeps on getting bigger, your growing uterus might have started pressing up against your lungs, which could cause you shortness of breath.

How’s Zoe ?

This week marks a milestone - Zoe has straightened out enough that we can now measure her from head to toe, as opposed to the old “crown to rump” measurement that we previously took, so don’t worry if it sounds like she has grown more than seems possible when you hear her measurements - we’re just measuring more of her now. Because of this, Zoe is now about 10 inches tall, the size of an endive, and she weighs about 10 ½ ounces. If Zoe is a girl, she now has seven million primitive eggs in her ovaries, and if Zoe is a boy, his testicles are descending from his abdomen into the scrotum.

Inside your uterus, Zoe ’s skin is still in the process of being covered in a creamy white substance called vernix caseosa that will cover and protect her skin through until birth. Scientists speculate that this coating might play a part in helping Zoe adjust to living ‘on land’ instead of in the watery environment inside your uterus.

Your healthcare provider will be able to see the presence or lack of male genitals at your second trimester ultrasound, and if you wish, can tell you Zoe ’s sex by now. She is going to keep gulping down that amniotic fluid - she now consumes multiple ounces a day. Zoe is also sprouting teeth buds underneath her gums, as well as lips, eyelashes, and eyebrows - the face you’re going to know and love is on its way! Just 20 short weeks until your bun will be fully cooked.

How’s mom?

Congratulations, you’re halfway there! Hasn’t the time just flown by? As Zoe keeps growing bigger, your body will continue to need more iron to support your increased blood-flow during pregnancy, so you should be compensating. Red meat, soy products, and raisins are great sources of iron for moms-to-be, as are dark, leafy greens. You might start to notice a hardening of your nails and a thickening of your hair at this time. Some of that hair might start sprouting out of places where you normally do not see hair grow, like your chin. Don’t freak out if this happens to you, as it is very common, and generally goes back to normal before too long after delivery, although some women do report permanent changes in hair texture after pregnancy.

As Zoe continues to grow, you might start to have more trouble sleeping, or finding a comfortable position to sleep in. Don’t be afraid to fidget or toss and turn, until you find a sleep position that’s comfortable. You also may not be precisely ‘eating for two’ but you’re definitely moving two bodies around with you every day, which makes getting your rest extra important. Your partner can fidget with you until you find a way to sleep that works.

Your uterus is also expanding to keep up with Zoe , and may press against your lungs, causing a shortness of breath. Try to battle through the discomfort and remain active - your libido is still running high, so staying active might be easier than you think (and more fun!).

Panting heavily,na wa ooo

21 weeks - November Mamas and all other mamas coming behind..
Please replace Zoe with your LO's name...

21 weeks pregnant
Zoe is starting to produce meconium, the substance that will make his first poop, and his skin is wrinkled before it expands and smoothes out as he gets baby fat. Your appetite is going to be huge, and surging hormones could be causing bloody gums.

How’s Zoe ?

Zoe keeps producing meconium, the black tarry substance that makes up his first poop. His skin is still a bit see-through, and it has developed wrinkles that allow for internal expansion once baby fat starts to set in, so he will fill out into that plump little thing you’ve always hoped for! This baby fat is especially important for Zoe ’s development, both because the fats in his system directly fuel his brain’s development, and because it’s one of the biggest components of Zoe ’s ability to regulate his own temperature once born.

Zoe is about 10 ½ inches long (26.7 cm), the size of a bok choy, and weighs almost ¾ of a pound (350 g). He really does look like a miniature person at this point, a significant improvement from the microscopic ball of cells that he was merely 20 weeks ago.

How’s mom?

Just like Zoe , you're growing too! Those backaches are probably going to persist, so just try to stay active, and drink plenty of water. You might have noticed, or be beginning to notice, odd dental problems like bleeding or sore gums, a perfectly natural side effect caused by your wacky hormones. Your increased bloodflow reaches everywhere, after all, even your mouth, which can lead to sore and swollen gums, and leave you more vulnerable than usual to infection. It can also lead to sore or bleeding gums when you brush or floss. The best way to deal with this is to brush regularly with a soft-bristled brush - there’s nothing wrong with being a little gentle with your gums when they hurt. Be sure to rinse your mouth out with clean water if you vomit, and brush your teeth not long after. It’s also a good idea to have at least one dentist’s appointment during pregnancy, as long as you’re sure your dentist knows that you’re pregnant, and how far along you are. Serious gingivitis has been linked to pre-term birth, so a dental checkup can be helpful, especially if gingivitis persists or gets worse.

You’re also going to be super hungry by now (you’re eating for two, after all!), and it’s important to eat enough, but try to mainly keep yourself to healthy foods. It's important not to let the weight gain get out of control or else you could start developing varicose veins, especially if you have a family history of them, and you’ll have a more difficult time losing the weight after giving birth.

22weeks -Team November.... Please replace Zoe for your LO's name

22 weeks pregnant
Zoe spends most of her time resting as you rock her to sleep with the movement of your day-to-day activities. While Zoe sleeps the day away, your hair is growing in especially thick, and may grow in odd places. In addition, your fingers and feet may be beginning to swell.

How’s Zoe ?

When Zoe isn’t sleeping (which at this point is 12-14 hours a day), she is trying to touch anything she can. Whether it’s her face, body, or umbilical cord, she is working on her physical abilities and motor skills by practicing movement, and getting a feel for things. Her inner ear is also developed to the point where she has a sense of balance. Zoe may not be using that sense of balance on any gymnastics equipment yet, but the more her ears develop, the better the chance that she is hearing you when you talk, and learning your voice, so that when she arrives, she’ll recognize you.

And her pancreas is already busy creating its own hormones, which helps alleviate your hormonal burden. Zoe is now about a foot tall (30.5 cm), and weighs close to a pound (450 g). Her eyes are still developing, as she still lacks pigment in her iris, and therefore an eye color. Zoe is now the size of an ear of corn.

How’s mom?

Those without a detailed knowledge of pregnancy and the symptoms that come with it may be surprised to find out that many of the side effects, particularly in the second trimester, have nothing to do with your belly, but other places in your body, like hair, nails, and mouth. Your feet and hands may be the next unusual places to feel pregnancy’s effects, as they will swell up during these months. Wearing maternity compression stockings may help improve your circulation and reduce swelling, in addition to helping with varicose veins. Your rings might start feeling tighter, and your foot could grow a whole size bigger.

Beyond that, your heartburn might still be lingering, too, and to return to your expanding belly, it may have made your “innie” into an “outie” by now. Don’t worry, it’ll go back to normal after you give birth. Your newly out-facing belly button might be a little sensitive, especially as it rubs against your clothes, but that’s generally nothing to worry about. If, on the other hand, it’s causing you pain, talk to your healthcare provider to make sure it’s not an umbilical hernia. Even if there’s nothing wrong, it never hurts to know exactly what is going inside your body, because you’re going to want to do whatever you can to keep your precious cargo safe.

Mamas pls has anyone experience vomitting after taking Lumartem for malaria. My test showed 1+
and urine showed moderate growth of staph. I was given Nitrofureaton(pardon my spelling i cant see d writing on d bag well) for d staph. I took d 2 drugs together and an hour later i vomitted heavily. I dont knw if i should stop or continue d drug. TIA.

Sorry mama Hafofems, for me it is that rubbish Nitrofurantoin, the side effects are crazy which includes nausea and feeling generally unwell. the first time i used it years ago was terrible as i finished the whole course of treatment but was really ill, didn't realize it was the drug until much later. I was given like 2 weeks ago again to treat UTI but dumped it after the 2nd does cos i became ill again.

kindly discuss with your doc to give u a substitute for it. it is well with you.

Congrats mama...May God bless your LO and family
