How can we help?
Your baby is having a major growth spurt. The arms, legs, and torso are filling out. Your baby now weighs about as much as a butternut squash — 3 pounds or so.
Your internal organs are feeling the squeeze of your rapidly growing baby. This can result in an array of symptoms, from heartburn and breathlessness to gas and constipation.
To cope with the changes underway in your body, adjust your usual schedule. Try smaller, more frequent meals. Experiment with napping (or skipping your nap). Switch activities or exercise at a different time of day. Take breaks at work. See if you can find a pace and daily rhythm that feels healthy for you right now.
