26th Week of Pregnancy

• Pregnancy can be quite confusing for any woman.
  Time over time, there is a high chance of
  experiencing changes in the body as a woman
  inches towards the third trimester of pregnancy.
  The only solution to it is to get enough rest and
  keep yourself energized to avoid waking up in the
  morning bloated, fatigued, and drained.
• Closely monitor the changes in your body to
  pamper it with the right treatment it deserves in
  the 26th week of pregnancy.

How Does the Baby Look?

• The 26th week of pregnancy is the golden period
  for a baby as the eyes were shut until this week.
  In the following week, at some point in time, the
  baby will open eyes for the first time. The baby
  will only blink the eyes and rest after frequent
  intervals.
• The color of the baby also starts to change
  during this period. Then the baby starts gaining
  weight and develops more during the leftover
  months of pregnancy.

Weight and Size

• At the 26th week of pregnancy, the size of the
  baby is similar to that of beetroot, and the
  length measurements are approximately 35.6 cm.
  The weight of the baby is around 907 grams.
• At this point, the uterus becomes tight for the
  baby, and you can feel the stretches and kicks of
  the baby.

5
Is it Developed Yet?

• The 26th week is the time when the baby positions
  itself for birth. At this point, the blood cells
  of the baby are fully functional. All the
  essential blood cells are now grown inside the
  foetus, and they are playing their role in
  maintaining the health of the baby.

6
Is It Developed Yet?

• The lungs of the baby are not yet fully
  functional in the 26th week. So, in case you
  experience premature labor, then your baby is
  most likely to suffer from breathing problems,
  but it can be cured without complications.
• But, it is the type of situation that every
  mother must avoid as the baby needs more time to
  grow inside the womb to come out healthy and fit.

7
What to Eat?

• From this week onwards, make sure you keep your
  diet strict, avoiding the snacks or sweets to
  maintain a good appetite. Eliminate fat-rich
  foods and prefer only lean meats to give
  essential nutrition to the baby.
• The dietary supplements play a significant role
  in the development of the blood vessels that feed
  the foetus. For an excellent umbilical cord and
  placenta, go for green vegetables and lean meats.

8
Should There be Any Lifestyle Changes?

• Contact your doctor, if you are experiencing pain
  during your sleep or while performing other
  activities to get the right knowledge about the
  lifestyle you must adapt.
• Your doctor can give you the right advice to get
  rid of or at least handle the knee and joint
  pains during this point of pregnancy.

9
Should There be Any Lifestyle Changes?

• Drink enough water to fulfill the needs of
  amniotic fluid for the baby. It will also help
  you prevent constipation or fatigue during this
  time. Do not overdrink water but just enough
  whenever thirsty.
• Enjoy your babymoon during the 26th week to make
  beautiful memories for a lifetime before you give
  birth to a beautiful baby.
