Week 23

Your baby weighs almost a pound and is about 8 inches crown to rump! Your uterus is quite a bit above your belly button now and you may be feeling stronger kicks and bumps from your baby. Your baby's skin is still quite wrinkly at this point but will grow more firm as he retains more fat. You may be feeling restless at night especially if you are someone who normally sleeps on their back or belly. If you are noticing an increase in swelling these days you may want to be sure you are getting enough fluids. During pregnancy your body needs 6-8 glasses of water a day.
