25 weeks pregnant

What's happening this week...

25 weeks pregnant baby

Your baby

Pregnant at 25 weeks, your baby can still turn somersaults but it won’t be long until there’s not enough room in there! They will be able to hear loud noises which may cause them to jump, and you may notice extra kicks when you’re in the bath or shower too.

While your baby is in the womb, their temperature is maintained by the placenta, but by this week they will begin to develop fat which will help regulate their temperature once they are born.

On a 25 weeks pregnant ultrasound, you may notice your little one sucking their thumb, yawning or even rubbing their eyes.

You

You may find it hard to sleep well – try lying on your side with a pillow under your upper leg, to take the weight off your bump.

Are your nails and hair growing quicker than ever before? This is because of the pregnancy hormones circulating around your body. You may find that your skin is more sensitive than usual, so make sure you look after your skin.

Your rapid weight gain may cause you to develop stretch marks around your tummy, hips and thighs. After your pregnancy, these often fade and become less apparent. Moisturising can help smooth the skin, but isn’t likely to stop you from getting them as they are often genetic.

What to think about

If you haven’t already, it’s time to discuss your maternity leave with your employer. Your partner should also discuss paternity leave with his work too.

Have you chosen your birth partner? This doesn’t have to be a partner, it could be your mum, a close friend or you could consider a doula. Find out more about choosing your birth partner.

It’s a really good time to start thinking about what nappies you would like to use? Find out more about nappy options here.

Make sure you begin to plan what newborn essentials you will need. You may not have the energy to go from shop to shop in your third trimester.

Treat yourself to a spa treatment or take time out to relax with a bath accompanied with soothing music and candles. After your baby is born you’ll be concentrating on baby care so use this time wisely and make some time for you!

I am 34 weeks second child and have had to deal with spd since 10-11 weeks it's awful it takes ur breath away iv been for physio,had a bump support and still i spend most of my time crying. i have fallen down the stairs 3 times and am hoping tht my last cry for help will be heard i am asking for a section as i am a danger to myself haa haa hardly but i can see where they r coming from!! it has been a very tiring 34 weeks by far my poor lil boy has had to deal with mummy being unable to do much even walk to the park he's my boofle lil helper and deserves his trampoline as a big reward!!! If u think you are suffering pls tell sum 1 it's not nice not nice @all the pain is in ur hips back tail bone and even send shooting pains down ur body!!!! ur groin can feel like it's on fire even crutches have not been any relief. i just hope the lack of sleep has prepared me for the sleepless nights to come and tht i will be able to have a bath alone .......yes i need help with tht 2!!!! ok so now i have depressed myself further i will leave u with the thought all the pain is so worth it x

Im not sure if i have or not, but think i had spd - im sure i didnt have it with my first, but seems to be a tender pain on my right hip - its awful when I sneeze, cough and when I sit down for long periods and try and get up. What is this? Be grateful if there ppls out there who are experiencing the same, or who can give me advice. Im 20 week and due in November! Kerry

Hi I have received my first pack from my midwife at my 12 week appointment. I have then sent my card to Bounty and thought I would get my second goodies bag delivered. I am at my 25th week and so far nothing has been received. I was wondering whether someone would know who I could contact to obtain my second goodies bag? If I do not have a voucher Boots will surely not give a bag to me. I am stuck. Help!
