What Changes Happen to Mother's Body?
When you are 25 weeks pregnant, your uterus is about the size of a foot ball. At the age of pregnancy entering this third trimester, many women experience leg cramps, insomnia, hemorrhoids, and constipation. In addition, because the position of the uterus is below the rib cage, you can feel a little difficulty breathing.
You can feel the baby's movements that respond to sound and light, as well as their movements when hiccuping. Sometimes the baby also responds when the mother is exercising. This movement is often a strengthened relationship between mother and baby.
What should be checked?
Each time you consult a gynecologist every month, your doctor or nurse will check your blood pressure. Urine sample examination is also needed to detect certain conditions, such as preeclampsia and diabetes.
If a blood test shows that your renal status is negative (RhD negative), you will be advised to undergo an anti-body resistance test (antibodies). It is possible that this antibody is in your blood if your baby is RhD positive. In this situation, you need to get an anti-D injection to prevent a mismatch reaction between you and your baby.
At 25 weeks of pregnancy, some women experience aches and stiffness in the fingers and hands. This is due to nerves contained in the wrist pinched, causing pressure and pain. If it feels disturbing, consult your doctor to get treatment that does not harm the fetus.
What should be considered?
Along with the rapid growth of this period, the fetus needs adequate nutrition from the food the mother consumes. You should continue to run a healthy diet rich in vegetables and fiber, also doing exercise that is suitable for pregnant women. But avoid consuming too much fish because the mercury content that might be contained in it can harm the fetus. Two to three servings of fish a week is the recommended dose.
Changes in the bodies of women during pregnancy can make them insecure. The role of a partner is very necessary to make women still feel comfortable. Relaxing by pampering yourself in the salon or doing treatment at home can cause a feeling more relaxed and happy. A good psychological condition is important for the health of the mother and fetus.
As pregnancy increases and the stomach grows, there are things at home that need to be reorganized to avoid the risk of slipping or falling. You can place rubber footwear in the bathroom or move rooms downstairs rather than upstairs so you don't have to climb stairs.
At this gestational age, have you prepared yourself for breastfeeding? Breastfeeding is natural, but in practice, this activity requires preparation, knowledge and determination. You can start searching for information about lactation clinics in the nearest hospitals or in organizations such as the Indonesian Breastfeeding Mothers Association. This preparation is also needed for prospective fathers who will support mothers to breastfeed.
However you maintain the health of your pregnancy, the possibility of preterm labor can occur due to various reasons that are not detected. There is no harm in getting ready by preparing a bag containing equipment that needs to be taken to the hospital during childbirth. Also provide a contact list that other people can contact if at any time you have to experience a premature birth.
If during this 6 month pregnancy you already feel your feet often achy and swollen, when you are 7 months pregnant, this condition may not decrease with the baby's weight gain. But the baby's movements and responses that are more pronounced will cheer you up during the last trimester of this pregnancy.
