Week 26

So we've entered week 26 and everything seems to go so quickly. Bub's kicking a lot and my tummy is feeling so heavy. Also, my boobs are starting to grow aswell and I can't fit into any of my bras. Bought new ones but they're still a little bit to big so at the moment I'm struggeling to wear anything comfortable.

Your tummy is getting bigger with each passing week and by now, you are probably having trouble seeing your knees when you’re standing up.
Your total blood volume has increased by around 25% since the start of your pregnancy. But it won’t peak until closer to 35 weeks. All that extra circulating blood will mean you may notice your fingers and ankles swelling by the end of the day.
Take it slowly when you’re standing up from now on. Many pregnant women experience pronounced postural hypotension (drop in blood pressure) when they go from a sitting or lying position to standing. When you’re getting out of bed, sit on the edge for a minute or two and then stand up.


Your baby is just less than 1 kilogram in weight this week and weighs around 900 grams. It’s still a compact little package and although it stretches out its arms and legs, it still spends a lot of its time curled up with its legs and feet tucked up against its bottom.
Your baby’s eyes are starting to open and their eyelids are no longer fused together. It will learn to open and close its eyes, blink and practice focusing in the remaining few months of your pregnancy.
Lots of baby movements from now until your 30th week. The amniotic fluid isn’t being produced in the same volumes as it was a couple of weeks ago. Because your baby is bigger, with less fluid to buffer its movements, you’ll be more aware of those kicks and stretches.
Your baby is having regular periods of rest and activity and its patterns of movement are becoming more familiar to you. Some pregnant women find their baby is very active in the middle of the night – enough to wake them from a deep sleep. After a sweet snack, on hearing the sound of your partner’s voice or when there is a sudden noise can all prompt a series of movements as well.



I still get back pains in the evening but other than that, I feel perfectly fine :)
The only issue is that I miss my man so much..Can't wait to be back home in his arms and to let him feel the kicks and movements in my tummy. Pregnancy is not fun by yourself..you need someone to share it with.
Only a week left..!! :)
