Week 22

Your baby weighs 12 ounces and is 7.5 inches crown to rump! You are likely feeling comfortably pregnant now and may even begin to find yourself walking a bit different to compensate for your growing belly. Your baby continues to grow and develop now and fine tune all his organs. Heartburn is a normal part of pregnancy. With your uterus pushing on your organs (especially your stomach) it can cause stomach acids to back up into your esophagus and give you a burning sensation known as heartburn. This happens most often after a large meal or while lying down. It may help to watch what you eat and eat smaller portions more frequently.
