is going on with you during week 21? |
| |
In addition to your growing uterus, other
parts of your body continue to grow and
change. You may find yourself with swollen
feet and lower legs at the end of the day.
Your weight gain should be in the 10-15
pounds or 4.5-6.3kg range. Your waistline
is definitely gone; it would be hard to
hide your condition. You are also likely
to be feeling hot most of the time due to
the metabolic changes of pregnancy. |

| What
is going on with your head during week 21? |
| |
It is easy to go overboard in the guilt
department when you are in this condition.
For example when you breathe a lungful of
second hand smoke, your immediate thought
would be 'Did I harm my baby?' While it
is very important to provide the most safe,
sound environment during your baby's sojourn
in your womb, you should not forget you
are a human being and that it is impossible
to steer clear of every potential hazard.
What matters is your effort. You won't be
making it any easier on yourself or giving
your best to your baby if you are constantly
edgy and guilty about anything and everything.
