Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 7.6 inches and your growing baby weighs about 12.25 ounces now! Your uterus is about 2 cm above your bellybutton and you probably feel comfortably pregnant. Your growing tummy is not yet large enough to get in the way and you should still be able to bend over and sit without much trouble. You might be enjoying your pregnancy more than ever at this point if morning sickness was an issue in the early weeks.
Your baby's body continues to grow and develop every day. The organ systems in your baby's body are becoming specialized for their particular functions. The fetal liver produces different enzymes than it will produce after delivery. The liver is responsible for breaking down billirubin, which is produced by the breaking down of blood cells. Because the life span of a fetal red blood cell is shorter than that of an adult, a fetus produces more billirubin than adults do. Billirubin passes from fetal blood to the placenta and then into your blood. Your liver helps get rid of fetal billirubin. A newborn baby that has high levels of billirubin may show signs of jaundice. Jaundiced babies have a yellowish tint to their eyes and skin and are often treated with phototherapy.
Your baby's senses are developing daily. The fetus now has a full complement of neurons in the brain and is learning about her body and surroundings through touch. Touch is one of the first senses to mature and your baby may stroke its face or feel her arms and legs.
Your blood volume has increased more to meet the demands of your pregnancy. Most of the increase is in the form of plasma, the liquid part of your blood. This has the ability to dilute your blood and give you physiological anemia, which occurs during pregnancy. The measure of blood dilution is called Hematocrit and the levels reach their lowest points this week. You should check with your doctor to make sure you are not developing more serious forms of anemia.
Your baby now shows an extremely rapid brain growth (which lasts until five years after birth).
The ovaries of female fetuses contain primitive egg cells, all of the eggs a woman will have for her entire life. The uterus of female fetuses is also fully formed.

Hey girls I just joined. 22 WEEKS! Team blue:-) This will be my 3rd. I have a 9 yr old girl 6 yr old boy! I'm 35 and thought we were done but.... Surprise! Starting to pack on weight like crazy! Gained about 20 yikes!
Rain87(T-blue) - 8.7 hours ago
Nikki-I like both names. Jacob ecspecially:) but jackson is really cute too:))either one though will make a good name. Hope everyone is good.
Rain87(T-blue) - 8.8 hours ago
Beautyfulsheena- thnx for the reply..I know colostrum is good for the baby and it has everything good for the first days for a newborn.. But what if my milk comes through before. Is regular milk still as nutritious as colostrum???
beautyfulsheena - 9.4 hours ago
Congrats Nikki! I love both names, but I especially love Jackson..I think that is so cute! I am team PINK this time around! We are naming her Avery Monroe :)***Rain-Yes, it is Collustrum..prefectly normal at this stage...and it is not bad at all for you or for hubby..in fact I have heard from others that is can be sweet? LOL..who knows! ;)**I am feeling my lil princess so much lately..I LOVE it! Hope you all are doing well!
Rain87(T-blue) - 11.5 hours ago
Nikki- congratulations!! Yay team blue! Were also expecting our first son:)) Already bought a few outfits, were so excited. Can't wait to hold in my arms^.^ ladies.. I'm leaking clear liqued from my BB's. Colostrum??? My DH is very fond of my breasts,lol.. But should I tell him to stop or is it ok?? Sorry if TMI.. tried looking up on the internet..but no luck:/ didn't start leaking this early with my first.
samendol - 14.6 hours ago
Betty- I am totally on board with the gender thing. Now that everyone is able to find out the gender there is NOTHING that is gender neutral. Makes it more difficult for us.I have a lot of duck onesies LOL!
Nikki1606 - 14.9 hours ago
Hey ladies! I haven't been on here for a minute (about a month or 2 now!) So I hope everyone is doing OK. I had my 20 week ultrasound on May 7th and everything is fine!!! YAY :) the heartrate was 163 (much higher than my other 2 kids' heartbeats were) and the baby is... A BOY!!!! I actually wanted another girl this time around but this will be my boyfriends first son so I'm still excited! As long as the baby is healthy that's all that really matters to me anyways! They didn't tell me the weight or length of the baby but they said its because the baby is too big to fit on the screen now so they actually CAN'T measure the length or weight accurately. Once the baby reaches about a pound though, they start tracking the weight. Both my kids have been relatively small so around 24weeks Ithink they're supposed to weigh about a pound but for me that point would probably be 26-27 weeks lol. I'm definitely bigger with this baby than I was with BOTH other pregnancies by this stage.So I guess it IS true when they say u get bigger with each pregnancy LOL! Have all of u finally found out what UR having yet?? Who's team blue with me & who's team pink??? Also, one more thing. I have 2 names picked out. I'm pretty confident I know which one i want but I'm still not 100percent. So what do ya'll think? Jackson OR Jacob??? PLZ give me ur opinions, I need a deciding factor here!!! LOL.
bexandgirls - 16 hours ago
betty im looking for the same. I have searched in so many stores for neutral clothes but theres nothing i like. There was plenty around during my last pregnancy but having trouble this time.
betty92413 - 18.3 hours ago
Hello week 22!!! so i went shopping yesterday for my baby and in a sea of baby clothes was able to find ONE gender neutral outfit lol my 5 year old daughter refused to buy girly outfits! she must really want a brother ...aaawww! i wish they made more gender neutral clothing :(
jewjew - 4 days ago
went to the docs yesterday and there is nothing they can do - told me to go on sick and not too get stressed, dont stand around or walk too much, just relax and put me feet up - WHAT for the next four months - what the hell - not happy
Gennymay - 4 days ago
beautyfulsheena - we sure have some interesting times ahead. and i wld have blamed DH for it if he was there (lol).
beautyfulsheena - 4 days ago
@genny-LOL!! that is sooooo funny!!! That happened to me the other day looking for my keys, and they were in my pocket...hehe
beautyfulsheena - 4 days ago
@treadonfoot... brilliant minds think alike. .. we are naming our lil princess Avery Monroe :) ... my lil boy is Alex, so we will have Alex and Avery. :)
treadonfoot - 5 days ago
I'm trying to tell myself that I should be patient to see my baby but now that I know what my baby gender is I have been more than eager to see my little one. I do however want to enjoy this pregnancy as much as I can.
2Tauruses - 5 days ago
Mabuckn- Hope they go away! Glad it's common and not much to worry about, though! Aussie-Hope you and your little one feel better!! Jewjew-Oh no!! Really hope they figure out what's causing it, that's terrible!! Have you been drinking a good amount of water each day and such?! Could be low blood pressure or something?! Good luck!!
jewjew - 5 days ago
Going to see the doctor today as passed out in subway waiting for my food literally was standing for 5 mins - went in town today with the hubby and same thing happened in argos - need to get this sorted out as really not enjoying things at the minute - also a question I have a throbbing vein in my right ankle and its killing me having to wear loose fitting shoes - has anyone else got this problem ??
treadonfoot - 5 days ago
Well Hubby and I settled with a name but we are keeping our options open still. We have decided our girl's name would be Avery. :)
Gennymay - 5 days ago
So I spent about 5 mins frustrated and turning my room upside down looking for a brassier I remembered taking out to wear this morning only to realize that I had it on all along (lol). There are going to be some interesting times ahead.
wins829 - 6 days ago
22 weeks. Yeah.
AussieMummy86 - 6 days ago
I can't catch a break here I've been sick with the flu 3 times in 2 months...gah would love to go to the hospital get on a drip get some antibiotics not thatit will help som e fluid in the drip and rest.... I could cry atm not to mention I have a sick 4 yearn old as well...
buterbys - 7 days ago
Saw my little man yesterday he is weighing in at 1.5 lbs the only plus side to complications more ultrasounds. We are naming him elias. ;)
AbbottBaby3 - 7 days ago
Stacey- I've gained 6 lbs so far. I think it's different for everyone. I gained 40 lbs in my first 2 pregnancies but haven't gained much so far. Don't know if it's because I'm chasing after my other two or because I've had my gallbladder out since and most foods make me run to the bathroom (sorry tmi) so I'm not gaining a ton. I'm hoping not to go over 30 lbs total this pregnancy but you gain what you gain.
AbbottBaby3 - 7 days ago
Mabuckn-My son is named Matthew and oddly enough when we had our 20 week scan he had several cysts in his brain. If it's the same (choroid plexus cyst) it is VERY common and don't cause any problems although I of course freaked out because come on cysts in your brain? But they are harmless and his were gone at 28 weeks and he is a healthy 18 month old now!
stacey3 - 8 days ago
Oh yeah, and I've gained 12 pounds so far. Is that normal?!?
stacey3 - 8 days ago
22 weeks! Horray! I go in at 28 weeks for another u/s so they can check on the marginal placenta previa. If it's not one thing, it's another! The clot is stable so i shouldn't have to worry about that at least!
Mabuckn - 8 days ago
We are naming our little guy Matthew Scott. We just found out he has a cyst on his brain. I guess it is one that is common during pregnancy and should go away by the time he's born. I have a u/s at 28 weeks to check on it.
treadonfoot - 8 days ago
I am in a very irritable mood today. :\
treadonfoot - 8 days ago
I'm glad it isn't just me who is having trouble with breathing. Lol. How time has fly by...
2Tauruses - 9 days ago
treadon- I'm almost 20 weeks and YES I get breathless going up stairs, mostly at my boyfriends house because he has like 30 I have to go up and most of the time our son wants me to carry him.. I sat down on the couch and had to catch my breath.. Lol.
treadonfoot - 9 days ago
Are any of you ladies already breathless going up the stairs?
treadonfoot - 9 days ago
Week 22 today! :) 18 more weeks and we get to see our little ones. Time flew by quickly.
Gift-from-God - 11 days ago
babybrown2013-Wow! They will be close! I always get pregnant when my baby turns 6 months old inspite of exclusively breastfeeding. They keep you busy but they're worth it!! :)
babybrown2013 - 11 days ago
Week 22! Belly size is sneaking up on me..I just don't realize how big I look until I see myself in the mirror! My son is 7 months old and on the go! i can just imagine what it'll be like when our daughter arrives! Anyone else have back to back pregnancies?
Mama of Baby Brown - 13 days ago
Dede, I had anterior placenta with my first son and never felt more than flutters other than literally 4-5 hard kicks... Never felt him 'kicking my ribs' or saw or felt foot/hand/anything going across the front of my belly. U/S tech told me anterior again this time, so I am destined to never feel the kicks I hear so many talk of. I am starting this pregnancy 60lbs lighter than my firt son and I do notice I feel this baby more so far than I did him... Hoping it keeps up. I finally went out and bought a doppler because I was sick of worrying since I never felt him.
dedebaby - 14 days ago
I am 21w +6dys with my 4th baby and have had an ultrasound showing a healthy and growing baby boy. I have an anterior placenta and have not felt any definable kicks. Good to know others experiences as well.
lisamarie29 - 15 days ago
Please share and vote to help him win a handicap assessable van...Hunter was born early ar 24 weeks..He is now 15 years old and has to undergo lots of therapy and doctors appointments..He suffers alot of hip and joint pain and getting lifted from wheel chair to vehicle and back for all these appointments hurts him greatly so he is praying to be one of 3 to win a van with a wheelchair lift so being picked up and lifted will no longer be necessary..So please take a moment to vote and help make his dream come true.This boy has had a hard life already but always has a smile on his face please help make it just a little bit easier on him by voting..Thanks again for your time and help..! http://www.mobilityawarenessmonth.com/entrant/hunter-darlage-north-vernon-in/ ..!
hrose - 15 days ago
Horray!! Finally had my ultrasound. We are having a boy. Now the challenge is trying to find a name my husband and I agree upon. LOL
nicolareeves - 15 days ago
Yes im still feeling sick alot :(
Mama of Baby Brown - 16 days ago
Anyone else still getting sick? Last time around was a breeze--got a belly and some stretch marks... Everyone thought for sure a girl this time since I have been so ill, but sure enough they were wrong!
Mama of Baby Brown - 16 days ago
We decided Thomas for our son! Since my eldest is the IV named after his father this one was my choosing and he will be named after my Grandfather and have my Dad's middle name for his own. Is anyone still hanging on to night finding out? I have a close friend who is due within a week of me and they decided not to. Don't know how they do it!!!
Mama of Baby Brown - 16 days ago
Evelyn is an old fashioned name (it's my Grandma's!) but beautiful and timeless! My 6 year old 2nd cousin was bestowed it in her honor. :) We call her Evie (sounds like 'EV-EEE' for short.
AussieMummy86 - 17 days ago
Wow yummyummy1 I can't believe your measuring so big! 22 weeks pregnant and measuring 29 that's crazy lol gosh I hope you don't have to push out a 14pounder lol I'm sure everything is fine if your midwife hasn't said anything :)
yummymummy1 - 17 days ago
Went midwife and she measured my bump and says im measuring 29weeks should i be woried x
bumpalumpa (julie) - 28 days ago
im from week 21 but saw the comment about evelyn. I love it! Thats our choice lol. ;-)
PregoMeag - 29 days ago
I like the name Evelyn. My baby girl is Eva Ellen, which isn't too far off. I think older names are coming back in style now anyway.
Neave 82 - 29 days ago
Hi all, been a few weeks since I was here last :) I found out Two weeks ago we will be expecting a girl :)) I have two things I soiled like to run by you all, we really like the name Evelyn but worried that its old fashioned, what is your opinion on the name? Please be honest!! :)) Also I used some Betnovate cream on my legs tonight as excemas is really playing up and so sore :(( but I read its not good to use. I washed it off within a few minutes, do you think this is ok or should I check with my doctor?
PregoMeag - 30 days ago
I was just put on my second Z Pack of this pregnancy for a sinus infection. The first was for bronchitis the same day I found out I was pregnant. I am a little freaked out about the baby being exposed to so many antibiotics.
mollykae - 31 days ago
Well my nausea finally went away during week 17 and now the past couple of days I have been nauseous! Ugh I hope it doesnt last!
PregoMeag - 31 days ago
Beautiful names, ladies! I can't wait to meet my little girl and complete her birth certificate. Maybe I am a nerd, but I really enjoy writing her name on something official for the first time.
ipoodles - 31 days ago
We are naming our boy Liam. I had a girl name picked Olivia Rose but as we are having a boy we won't be using it!

Week 22! Belly size is sneaking up on me..I just don't realize how big I look until I see myself in the mirror! My son is 7 months old and on the go! i can just imagine what it'll be like when our daughter arrives! Anyone else have back to back pregnancies?

Dede, I had anterior placenta with my first son and never felt more than flutters other than literally 4-5 hard kicks... Never felt him 'kicking my ribs' or saw or felt foot/hand/anything going across the front of my belly. U/S tech told me anterior again this time, so I am destined to never feel the kicks I hear so many talk of. I am starting this pregnancy 60lbs lighter than my firt son and I do notice I feel this baby more so far than I did him... Hoping it keeps up. I finally went out and bought a doppler because I was sick of worrying since I never felt him.

I am 21w +6dys with my 4th baby and have had an ultrasound showing a healthy and growing baby boy. I have an anterior placenta and have not felt any definable kicks. Good to know others experiences as well.

Please share and vote to help him win a handicap assessable van...Hunter was born early ar 24 weeks..He is now 15 years old and has to undergo lots of therapy and doctors appointments..He suffers alot of hip and joint pain and getting lifted from wheel chair to vehicle and back for all these appointments hurts him greatly so he is praying to be one of 3 to win a van with a wheelchair lift so being picked up and lifted will no longer be necessary..So please take a moment to vote and help make his dream come true.This boy has had a hard life already but always has a smile on his face please help make it just a little bit easier on him by voting..Thanks again for your time and help..! http://www.mobilityawarenessmonth.com/entrant/hunter-darlage-north-vernon-in/ ..!

Mama of Baby Brown - 16 days ago
Anyone else still getting sick? Last time around was a breeze--got a belly and some stretch marks... Everyone thought for sure a girl this time since I have been so ill, but sure enough they were wrong!

We decided Thomas for our son! Since my eldest is the IV named after his father this one was my choosing and he will be named after my Grandfather and have my Dad's middle name for his own. Is anyone still hanging on to night finding out? I have a close friend who is due within a week of me and they decided not to. Don't know how they do it!!!

Evelyn is an old fashioned name (it's my Grandma's!) but beautiful and timeless! My 6 year old 2nd cousin was bestowed it in her honor. :) We call her Evie (sounds like 'EV-EEE' for short.

I like the name Evelyn. My baby girl is Eva Ellen, which isn't too far off. I think older names are coming back in style now anyway.

Hi all, been a few weeks since I was here last :) I found out Two weeks ago we will be expecting a girl :)) I have two things I soiled like to run by you all, we really like the name Evelyn but worried that its old fashioned, what is your opinion on the name? Please be honest!! :)) Also I used some Betnovate cream on my legs tonight as excemas is really playing up and so sore :(( but I read its not good to use. I washed it off within a few minutes, do you think this is ok or should I check with my doctor?

I was just put on my second Z Pack of this pregnancy for a sinus infection. The first was for bronchitis the same day I found out I was pregnant. I am a little freaked out about the baby being exposed to so many antibiotics.

Well my nausea finally went away during week 17 and now the past couple of days I have been nauseous! Ugh I hope it doesnt last!

Beautiful names, ladies! I can't wait to meet my little girl and complete her birth certificate. Maybe I am a nerd, but I really enjoy writing her name on something official for the first time.

We are naming our boy Liam. I had a girl name picked Olivia Rose but as we are having a boy we won't be using it!
