There are a lot of things to look forward to on your 19 week of pregnancy! Your baby's sense of smell, taste, hearing, vision and touch are designated. A lot of studies prove that he or she may be able to hear and recognize your voice now so go ahead and red aloud, sing and talk to him.
The baby should weigh about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches long. Yes you can say that it's about the size of a large heirloom tomato. The arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of the body on this stage. The kidneys will continue to produce urine. The hair on the scalp will soon begin sprouting and a waxy protective coating referred to as the vernix caseosa will form on the skin to prevent it from soaking in the amniotic fluid.
On your 19 week of pregnancy, your baby will start producing meconium which is a substance that will become the first bowel movement. After delivery, he or she will start passing meconium in the first few days of life. This is what normally happens but when he passes meconium while you are still pregnant, this can cause fetal distress. It can mix with amniotic fluid and may get into the baby's lungs which can cause certain complications such as pneumonia.
What about the changes in your body on your 19 week of pregnancy? Your uterus should be just below your belly button and you will feel a little bit of pain in your lower abdomen because of its increase in size and pulling on the round ligaments. During this period, it won't be surprising that your center of gravity is off. It may be more difficult to walk down or up the hill. You may also feel dizzy or lightheaded, this is a very common symptom of pregnancy. One cause of dizziness is too low or too high blood sugar. Make sure that you eat several small meals per day. Don't skip meals but don't let your stomach to be overly full.
