Pregnancy - Day 133

Today I'm 133 days pregnant (19 weeks)

So not much has changed in a week. I am having a lot of

Round ligament pain . It's mainly when I get out of bed

or up from my chair at work. And guess what came back.....

nausea. UGH

I can hardly eat anything w/out getting sick.

It's getting silly. Usually if I take my prescription while

I'm eating I'm ok. So that's what I've been sticking to.

Here is how the baby's growing this week:

Your baby's sensory development is exploding!

It's brain is designating specialized areas for

smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research

suggests that he/she may be able to hear your voice now,

so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking

to him/her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches,

head to bottom. His/her arms and legs are in the right

proportions to each other and the rest of her body now.

The kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on the scalp

is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa

is forming on his/her skin to prevent it from pickling in the

amniotic fluid.
