You are now 16 weeks pregnant and things are getting very exciting. You may have another prenatal check-up this week and you may hear your baby’s heartbeat once again. Even more exciting, you may feel your baby’s kick, so start watching your baby’s movements from this week onwards. Another good news is that your baby is starting to hear your voice and will recognize it when it is born. So it’s a good idea to talk to your baby every chance you get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
16 Weeks Baby Development<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne of the most exciting developments for your baby this week concerns her physical coordination skills. She can now hold her head upright and is trying to move around; she is beginning to explore her arms and legs. Facial development is also progressing: Her eyes and ears are moving closer to their permanent positions and she can make facial expressions such as blinking and frowning (like she’s ready for a little photo shoot!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 16 weeks pregnant, your baby’s tiny ear bones are developing and he or she can hear your voice. Hair, eyelashes and eyebrows are growing and more taste buds are forming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 16 weeks, what else does the baby do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGrowing! During the second trimester, your baby is going through a major developmental process, and it is no different for a 16-week-old fetus. Urine and blood production started a few weeks ago and now the urinary tract and circulatory system are starting to function more regularly. The liver and pancreas are producing secretions, bones are hardening, lung tissue is developing and even tiny toenails are starting to grow. In short, it’s a big week for your baby! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Big is a 16-Week Baby?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAt 16 weeks pregnant, your baby has reached the size of an avocado. It is about 11.7 to 14 centimeters long and weighs around 70 to 100 grams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
16 Weeks Corresponds to How Many Months?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n16 weeks means you are four months pregnant, but doctors usually track pregnancy week by week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
16th Week Ultrasound<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYou will probably have an appointment for a four-month pregnancy check. As usual, you will probably have a urine test and your doctor will check for signs of gestational diabetes<\/a> and pre-eclampsia<\/a>. You may also have an ultrasound this week, but don’t worry; another ultrasound will be done around mid-pregnancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n16th Week of Pregnancy Pregnancy Symptoms <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne more reason to celebrate: Some of the signs of pregnancy at 16 weeks are actually quite pleasant. For example, many expectant mothers notice that their hair and nails are growing faster. Your hair may look fuller and shinier and your skin more radiant. Here are some other signs you may notice at 16 weeks: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back Pains<\/strong> Your posture is changing with your growing belly, which can cause back pain<\/a>. Take time to do low-impact exercises to alleviate the pain. Make sure you stay upright when sitting and standing and stretch your body regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBigger Breasts<\/strong>: Your breasts may have grown one or two sizes by now and are expected to be fully ready for breastfeeding by the end of the second trimester.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConstipation<\/strong>: This uncomfortable symptom is caused by the uterus pressing on your intestines and an increase in pregnancy hormones. You can alleviate this by eating fiber-rich foods<\/a> and drinking plenty of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
