weeks by week pregnancy - 23rd weeks

Your baby measures about 28 centimeters (11 inches).


He can hear outside noises that occur often strong, like the barking of your dog or the hum of the vacuum.


It is possible during your pregnancy you notice swelling, called edema, especially in the ankles and feet.


When you can, raise your feet, stretch your legs while sitting, do not sit for long periods, take regular exercise to increase blood flow and wear support stockings.


You should drink plenty of water as to be well hydrated actually helps prevent swelling.




If you notice a sudden or severe swelling of your hands and face, immediately call your midwife or doctor as it may be a symptom of a serious condition called preeclampsia.




* Preeclampsia is when a pregnant woman develops high blood pressure and protein in the urine after the 20th week (late 2nd or 3rd trimester) of pregnancy. Symptoms: Often, women who have preeclampsia do not feel sick.
* Pre-eclampsia or preeclampsia is a medical condition in which hypertension arises in pregnancy (pregnancy-induced hypertension) in association with significant amounts of protein in the urine.
