Just hit 18 weeks today and im so curious whats happening with the baby right now. Haven't felt proper movements yet. Those of u who crossed this week, kya feel hota hai?
At 18 weeks, I was terrified because I couldn't feel any baby movements yet, but my doctor said it's totally normal for first-time moms. Soon you will start feeling tiny bubble-like flutters. Just relax, your baby is doing great!
You are almost halfway through, dear! Right now, your baby is yawning, swallowing, and even hiccuping inside. Take care of your back posture and start sleeping on your left side to keep blood flow good.
I know how nerve-wracking this period is, especially with the big anomaly scan coming up around this time. Your baby is developing tiny ears and can actually hear your heartbeat now! Take a deep breath, you are doing wonderfully.
This is the golden period of your pregnancy. Your energy is back, the baby is growing fast, and you should get your anomaly scan booked now. Don't miss your iron and calcium supplements, be disciplined about it.
It's a beautiful stage where the baby's senses are developing, so play some peaceful music or chants. Speak to your baby with love, they can hear you now. God bless you both.
At 18 weeks, you should start planning your maternity leave and doctor appointments around your work schedule. Your baby is about the size of a sweet potato now. Keep a water bottle at your desk and stay hydrated.
