Week 20

Start of Pregnancy Week 20 : Day 120 with 146 days to go

It seems that the focus at this stage of your pregnancy is more on you than how your baby is developing, since most of the major development has already taken place, and you are well out of the danger phase of the first 3 months.

You may find it more and more difficult to bend down, lift heavy object and so on as your baby grows, causing you to look more pregnant. Remember to wear good shoes, lift objects with your legs, not your back and exercise your back to help prevent back ache.

At this stage your baby will be sleeping and waking much as a new born would.
The baby will start to develop eyebrows and fine scalp hair this week.
The vernix caeosa will become more and more noticeable as well this week.
