fetal weight at 20 weeks in grams?

Your pregnancy: 20 weeks

Believe it or not, this week heralds the mid-point of your pregnancy. If you go full term, from the start of your last menstrual period to the time you give birth, your pregnancy will be about 40 weeks long. So you're halfway there. Congrats!

20 weeks pregnant: What | s going on in there

Your tiny human is the size of a slice of bread this week! (Did you find out the sex? Were you shocked or excited? More on how to cope with that below.) At about 16.5 centimetres (6.5 inches) long, by 20 weeks pregnant your baby | s weight is about 283 grams (10 ounces), which means that she would be a wee bit lighter than a can of soda in your hand. With very fine eyebrows and fingernails starting to sprout, she is looking more like a real person, although her lungs aren | t quite developed enough for her to survive on the outside. To prepare for her arrival, she is swallowing amniotic fluid (sounds gross, but it | s good for the digestive system). She sleeps and wakes up at regular intervals, can suck her thumb and is building muscle and coordination by kicking, flexing and even flipping. Do you notice more movement when you eat certain foods? Your baby | s taste buds are probably in full swing, but the tiny bits of flavour she gets in the amniotic fluid aren | t quite as strong as what you | re tasting.
20 weeks pregnant symptoms

You definitely look pregnant now, and your belly has probably “popped.” You | ve officially hit the halfway point of your pregnancy (woo-hoo!), which gives a lot of women a much-needed mental boost. If you aren | t already feeling more energetic, expect a change in gears soon as you enter what many people call the “honeymoon phase” of pregnancy. Don | t be surprised by a bump in your sex drive. Take advantage: We guarantee that your libido won | t keep up with the growth of your belly.

An increase in your vaginal discharge might also be more noticeable now. Expect it to keep increasing as your pregnancy progresses. It | s your body | s way of keeping the area clear and bacteria-free (yeast infections also become more common, though, so talk to your doctor or midwife if you notice an odour or a yellow or greenish tinge to the fluid). Your internal milk machine may also be starting to fire up. If you notice any nipple discharge, don | t be alarmed: It | s perfectly normal. Your breasts are beginning to make colostrum, the yellowish, nutrient-rich substance that precedes breastmilk.

Your uterus is about even with your belly button now. It will grow about one centimetre (1/2 inch) each week from now on, and some of your discomfort will grow along with it. You may already have swelling in your feet and ankles (embrace that pregnant-lady stereotype and put your legs up whenever possible!), leg cramps, heartburn and indigestion (you | ll want to avoid deep-fried, spicy and acidic foods).
