Week 19
Your body: You may feel that non of your shoes fit; this is probably due to water retention or the general loosening of ligaments happening throughout your body. Many women’s feet grow half a shoe size per child and, in most cases, this change is permanent. You should also be trying to exercise. It doesn’t’ need to be anything too strenuous, walking or swimming would be fine. If you’re not used to exercising, go slow and make sure you warm up before to avoid any injuries.
Baby: The fetus is now about 8 inches long and weighs about 8 ounces. It is covered in vernix, which is a white, cheesy “cream” that protects their skin from the long bath in amniotic fluid. Preemies are covered in vernix at birth-”posties” have almost none.
