pregnancy by week
Week 18
BABY
Baby is busting a move! Kicking, rolling, stretching, punching, flexing, twisting, yawning, sucking, swallowing… it’s like baby training camp in there.
MOM
With baby’s rapid growth comes hunger! Keep a supply of healthy snacks on hand. If heartburn is an issue, try eating smaller but more frequent meals.
PARTNER
Mom might be feeling some movement by now, but don’t be disappointed if you can’t feel it yet from the outside. There will be plenty of that in trimester three. In the meantime, keep talking and singing to the bump (and to mom!).
2LIFE
Decorating a nursery (if you plan to have one) is a great joint project. The 2life LISTS tool will come in handy here. Start a wish list for your baby registry — or go ahead and register.
