Week by Week Pregnancy 16 - 17 Weeks

During these weeks, your baby is about the size of an avocado and its weight is increasing rapidly. The eyes and ears are fully developed and your baby can perceive light and sounds. In addition, the skin is still transparent, so you can see the veins. During this period, the baby's movements accelerate and some mothers may begin to feel these movements slightly.

For the expectant mother, these weeks are a time when she starts to enjoy pregnancy. Energy levels increase, and positive changes such as glowing skin and thickening hair can be observed. However, lower back and back pain may occur due to the enlargement of the uterus and the change in the body's centre of gravity. Regular exercise and correct posture techniques can alleviate these complaints
