25 Weeks and 1 Day Pregnant

Last night I had the most awful pains in my groin. They were coming and going just like contractions but only happening on my left lower side. The baby contnued to move the whole time. I didn't feel at all like I was in labour but thought something might have been going on with my insides. Turns out the pains I was having are completely normal. When I read up on week 25 they were talking about groin pains and cramping due to stretching of the uterus. The joys of pregnancy that we quickly forget!


All About Baby
Baby-to-be's lungs are developing rapidly, although she'd probably need a little help breathing if she were born at this point. Her respiratory system continues to develop, her nostrils are open, and she can breathe—but she won't take her first breath of air until delivery day. Her reproductive organs are formed. Her skin is translucent and wrinkled, and she can hear your stomach when it gurgles and your voice when you sing. Baby is becoming more aware of how she can move—she's wiggling her fingers and toes! I have been feeling a lot of movement from her lately esspecially. I am also starting to feel the movement from outside too. She is one strong girl already!

How Big Is Baby?
Baby has grown to about one pound, eight ounces and she's nearly nine inches long (crown to rump).
