Pregnancy 25 weeks what not. Photo of the fetus, photo of the abdomen, ultrasound and video about the development of the child

The 25th week of pregnancy "opens" the 7th month. Behind - a full six months (6 obstetric months, each of which lasts 28 days or 4 weeks). The term is already considerable, however, there are still 15 weeks ahead of you. Let's find out how the baby is doing at the 25th week.

What surprises does the 25th week of pregnancy bring?

At this time, the fetus is already quite large: its weight is approximately 0.7 kg, the average size is 34.5 cm. The baby continues to develop every second and more and more begins to resemble a newborn. If for one reason or another happen in the very near future, the doctors will fight for his life.

The alveoli begin to mature, thus preparing the lungs for the first breath. The formation of the auricle continues. According to her condition, doctors will determine the degree of term of the baby in the event of his early birth.

Functions of hematopoiesis this period completely "takes over" the bone marrow (until now it was a matter of the liver and spleen).

The baby's sense of smell is already highly developed. He also feels a change in his mother's mood, feels pain, smiles or winces.

Also, the baby is actively overgrown with muscles, bone tissue is being strengthened, so its movements and pushes will be more and more noticeable. An ultrasound will show how he sucks his finger, plays with the umbilical cord, grabs the leg with a pen, covers his face with his palms.

The baby in the womb acquires more and more skills

The movements of the baby are already coordinated, among other things, the leading hand is also determined. An ultrasound will tell you for sure the sex of the child, since the external genitalia have long been formed. In particular, the boy's testicles descend into the scrotum, the girl's vagina is formed.

Period Features

The 25th week is also a very important period of pregnancy, when overcoming it, it will be clear that the life of the fetus is no longer in danger.

This time is called the “psychological” period: the expectant mother is already in very close contact with the baby. The mood of the mother has a rather strong influence on the condition of the baby, his reaction can be instantaneous.

And yet, although the child is already sufficiently developed, he is not yet ready for birth and extrauterine existence.

Ultrasound at 25 weeks pregnant

On ultrasound, first of all, the condition of the fetus is assessed and its size is compared with normal for a given period. If a large discrepancy is revealed, the woman is sent for an additional examination to exclude the developmental delay of the baby.

Ultrasound will show the compliance of the size of the child with accepted standards

Approximate parameters of the fetus at this time:

chest diameter - 63.1 mm;
head diameter - 62.3 mm;
tummy diameter - 64.2 mm.

A small heart on average makes 140-150 beats per minute, its work is already superbly audible not only through a medical stethoscope. For example, if the baby's father puts his ear to his mother's belly, he will be able to hear this bewitching heart rhythm of a new life.

In addition, ultrasound examines the condition of the uterus (what is its size, location, surface), as well as amniotic fluid.

Uterus

The uterus at this time already has dimensions soccer ball. The height at which the upper part of the uterus rises above the pubis (at this stage, the norm is about 27 cm) is very important. Therefore, the doctor checks this indicator at each visit of the pregnant woman.

Parameters diverging from the norm are a reason to find out the cause of the violation. A deviation from the norm to a smaller side may indicate a lag in the development of the fetus or placental insufficiency, and a larger one - about polyhydramnios or multiple pregnancy.

Sometimes a woman can feel false contractions.

However, if they intensify and become more frequent, it is urgent to go to the hospital.

Belly at 25 weeks pregnant

The abdomen is becoming more and more rounded, about 1 cm in diameter is added weekly: the baby is gaining weight.

The uterus, the fetus itself, the abdomen grow, as a result of which the posture, gait, and the well-being of the pregnant woman also change. The surrounding organs squeezed by the growing uterus can affect the occurrence of such unpleasant phenomena as shortness of breath, heartburn.

Learn to deal effectively with the latter. Pay attention to your diet (include beets, kefir, prunes), do not forget about physical activity (in the absence of contraindications, it should not be stopped until the end of pregnancy).

It is not superfluous to wear a prenatal bandage, which greatly facilitates bearing, helps to reduce the pain that occurs.

At this time, the gender of the baby is already known for sure.

Temperature and cold

In order not to get sick during epidemics (after all, a woman’s immunity is weakened during pregnancy, and catching a cold is easy), the expectant mother must strictly adhere to the following recommendations:

try not to visit public places, but in case of urgent need, do your business faster;
do not overcool, first of all it concerns the lower back and legs;
ventilate the room frequently.

If, nevertheless, a cold has overcome and a temperature has appeared, the expectant mother needs to take care of the treatment started on time, in which the doctor must certainly participate. Only he will prescribe those drugs and methods of therapy that will not harm the baby.

The temperature within 37.5 ° C should not be knocked down, since for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy this is considered the norm, and especially in the evening. But the temperature should be controlled and in case of its increase, the painful condition can be alleviated with the help of:

compresses;
rubbing with cool water;
plentiful drink.

Cold manifestations can be treated with herbal infusions and inhalations. In especially severe cases, the specialist prescribes drugs that will not harm the fetus.

Try not to get cold so you don't get sick

pain

In addition to pain in the abdomen, a pregnant woman may also be bothered by pain in the lower extremities, back, spine, pelvis, lower back. You can make it easier by following these simple rules:

do not sit for a long time on hard surfaces, and do not cross your legs;
get out of bed correctly;
do not walk or stand for a long time;
give up shoes with heels;
do not ignore gymnastics for pregnant women;
use stockings and bandage.

However, the pain in the hypochondrium will have to be endured: the growing fetus is getting stronger and its tremors inside, respectively, too. Try to change position if the baby began to kick.

You can not ignore the pain in the anus, accompanied by burning, itching, bleeding during emptying. First of all, you should get rid of constipation.

If you often get headaches, your hands and face swell, it gets dark in the eyes, while the weight gain has exceeded the norm, you should find out from the doctor if the combination of these symptoms is a sign of incipient preeclampsia (although it usually develops in pregnant women later).

If you are worried about abdominal pain, this may be a harbinger of premature birth or placental abruption if the pain is accompanied by a "fossil" of the uterus (its increased tone) and bleeding.

Only a doctor can tell you about the nature of the pain

Allocations

At this time, normal discharges are:

liquid and transparent;
do not emit pungent odors;
not causing discomfort.

However, in the 2nd half of pregnancy, leakage of water sometimes occurs (in small portions or sharp outflows). This question should be clarified with the doctor and make sure that everything is fine. If leakage is dangerous, the woman is hospitalized.

If you notice any abnormalities in the discharge, this may be evidence of an exacerbation of thrush. It should be cured before childbirth, otherwise, in the process of passing the baby through the birth canal, there is a risk of infection.

Therefore, in the future, refuse to wear synthetic underwear and limit the use of sweet and flour products.

There is also a high risk of developing other sexually transmitted infections. Therefore, any changes in normal discharge should alert you and become a reason for an unscheduled visit to the doctor.

However, you should not be afraid of spotting that appears after intercourse or examination by a gynecologist, but not accompanied by pain. Although this is not the norm, and, most likely, erosion of the cervix, there is no threat of termination of pregnancy.

Give yourself a rest during work

Feel

At this time, the prevention of thrombosis becomes relevant. What is recommended if a pregnant woman has a tendency to varicose veins?

be sure to wear tight stockings;
with the expansion of the veins in the external genital organs, it is necessary to lie more;
put your feet on some kind of elevation at night;
do not give up walking and stop physical activity, however, do not walk a lot.

A doctor may prescribe a pregnant woman means that strengthen blood vessels and prevent blood clotting.

We also note that the most physiological posture during sleep during pregnancy is the one when the woman lies on her left side. In this case, it is undesirable to sleep on your back.

Sex at 25 weeks pregnant

The fact that the baby is already large and quite active should not be a hindrance to making love at the 25th week of pregnancy. Of course, if there are no medical contraindications to this and the child is reliably protected.

Do not forget in a series of troubles to give enough time for your loved one.

Although most positions are not available to you now, the most comfortable position for a large tummy is the cowgirl position. Still, try not to practice deep penetrations and sudden movements.

It is during this period that a woman can look at sex differently. It happens that only now she begins to experience an orgasm, and perhaps more than once. So "seize" the moment, enjoy!

Analyzes

At this stage, it is enough for a pregnant woman to visit a gynecologist once a month. Do not neglect scheduled examinations and tests:

blood;
urine;
for glucose;
on blood clotting.

According to the indications, the doctor can also refer the woman to additional studies: take tests that determine the level of hormones (hCG and progesterone).

All these measures will help to identify possible deviations and disorders during pregnancy in time.

It is very important during this period to control the level of hemoglobin in order to avoid the development of anemia. So, the following signs will indicate iron deficiency in the body:

general weakness;
pallor of the skin;
dizziness;
darkening in the eyes.

If you have any of the above symptoms, take a blood test.

Proper nutrition will be one of the keys to a healthy pregnancy.

Physical activity

Judgments that physical education and pregnancy are incompatible are erroneous. Although there is no lightness in the movements of a pregnant woman, however, it is in an interesting position that most women often show a serious craving for sports. And there is no ban on it in this case, unless there are any contraindications.

So, during pregnancy you can:

do gymnastics at home;
sign up for fitness or aerobics;
go to the swimming pool;
do yoga.

Such exercises are very useful for the body of a pregnant woman. They help eliminate swelling, keep it in good shape.

However, before you need to consult with your doctor about the possibility of fitness - classes. And if he approves of your desire, you can safely go to practice. Don't overdo it with physical activity: Too intense training may not please the baby.

Train systematically, but without overload. Only in this case, the lessons will be useful.

Alcohol at 25 weeks

Alcohol, even if you drink it in small quantities, is harmful to the still imperfect system of the kidneys and liver of the baby in the womb. Just imagine how much ethanol will be excreted from the child's body. Therefore, do not pay attention to bad advice that, for example, wine increases hemoglobin.

Alcohol has a detrimental effect on the baby's brain and, in addition, causes addiction. Therefore, after taking a small amount of alcohol, it is no longer the pregnant woman who wants sparkling, but her unborn child.

Nutrition

Including in your diet foods containing iron - beef, bran, beets, liver, buckwheat (if the intestines react normally, then legumes), you thereby reduce the risk possible development iron deficiency anemia.

It is important not to forget about the saturation of the diet with proteins. But smoked meats, fried, too fatty, salty, flour, use in minimal quantities, ideally - the exclusion of such dishes altogether.

Meals should be fractional: eat little by little, but every 2 to 3 hours. In a word, you should not overeat, so as not to gain too much, but you should not starve either. Everything should be in moderation.

Drink plenty of water and try to eat only freshly prepared meals.

Weight at 25 weeks pregnant

Make it a rule to systematically (weekly) weigh yourself: you need to take control of your weight gain, and note all the indicators. Ideally, weighing without clothes and at the same time.

Not all pregnant women gain weight equally, but there are average rates of weight gain, and it is advisable to focus on them. During this period, the weight should be approximately 7 kg more than the original.

Because of a small plus or minus, you should not worry, but still there should be certain “frameworks”: being overweight is dangerous with complications.

Keep an eye on the condition of the skin if you do not want to get stretch marks

Preterm labor at 25 weeks

At this time, the baby's respiratory system is not yet fully developed, however, in case of premature birth, he will be able to breathe through a special apparatus. Also, so-called chambers have been created for premature babies, where heat exchange is maintained.

Therefore, let us make a reservation: additional peace of mind for those mothers whose pregnancy is difficult can be given by the following confirmed medical fact: at least the probability of survival with possible childbirth at the 25th week is minimal, but not excluded.

Preparing the Breast for Feeding the Baby

At this time, the chest is already quite swollen. As a rule, at the beginning of the 7th month, most pregnant women have colostrum. Of course, this is only a preparatory stage, but already now it is necessary to prepare the breast for feeding the baby. The following “procedure” should be done (it will help to somewhat reduce the sensitivity of the nipples).

Take a thick towel. Lightly rub your nipples with this towel after every shower. But do not be too zealous so as not to hurt. It will also not be superfluous to draw necessary information from relevant books.

Intimacy with husband is not contraindicated

Preparing your husband for the upcoming birth

25 weeks pregnant is quite an impressive period. And you can be sure: many men believe that after giving birth, family life returns to the same track. It is clear that this is not so.

The first months after the birth of a child, many couples, in fact, have even more difficult than during pregnancy. Talk about this with your spouse. Share your own experiences, but do not intimidate.

Your goal is to make sure that the future assistant is next to you. Systematically prepare him for this mission and do nothing to make him move away from the role of a caring father of the family.

Comfortable course of the 25th week of pregnancy: how to ensure it

in all your body movements there should be a measure: lie down, sit, walk and stand - little by little;
Get out of bed gently and slowly. First, turn on your side, lift yourself up slightly, then place your feet on the floor. Get up not abruptly: this way there will be no additional load on the muscles that stimulate the uterine tone;
don't lift weights. If nevertheless it is required due to circumstances, first sit down, then take the object and get up;
you should not reach for objects that are far away from you (for this reason, the baby's neck is often wrapped around the umbilical cord);
do not lie all day (the exception is the prescribed bed rest) - you do not need to deny yourself moderate activity.

25 obstetric week of pregnancy is the beginning of the seventh month.

What does a future mom need to prepare for, stepping over the line of the third trimester? What do symptoms like back pain indicate? How to learn to understand the signals that the baby gives?

25 weeks of pregnancy obstetric period - fetal development, photo, how does the baby develop and feel?

The baby this week has reached an impressive size. His weight 700 g, growth 34-35 cm. In terms of volume, it can be compared with a small melon or pumpkin.

By this time, bone and muscle tissue begins to actively strengthen.

The lungs begin to prepare for work. And, although the first breath of the baby will occur only after birth, he is already trying to make respiratory movements. Such training will be very useful to him in the future.

What has formed, what is happening, what does the baby look like at 25 obstetric weeks?

By week 25, the baby has learned to control his body well. He can deftly grab his face, play with his fingers, touch the umbilical cord. Moreover, he already has a leading hand.

In 2008, scientists discovered the LRRTM1 gene. It turned out that it was he who was responsible for who the child would become - right-handed or left-handed.

Accordingly, if one of the parents prefers to use the left hand, the likelihood that the child will be born left-handed increases significantly.

The auricles continue to form. Their condition is of great importance for doctors. The fact is that in the case of premature birth, the degree of full-term baby is determined by how well the cartilage is formed.

The sexual organs are completing their development. In boys, the testicles descend into the scrotum, and in girls, the vagina begins to form.

After 25 weeks, the risk of miscarriage is significantly reduced.

What can be seen on an ultrasound?

If the pregnancy is proceeding normally, ultrasound is performed three times - in the first, second and third trimester.

If necessary, at this time, using Doppler ultrasound, the blood flow in the umbilical cord arteries is examined. With the help of this study, doctors determine the quality of blood supply and the degree of vascular patency.

This is very important for the timely diagnosis of malformations in the development of the fetus.

Fetal heart rate at 25 weeks of pregnancy obstetric period

According to generally accepted standards, at week 25 the heart of the future man should beat with a frequency 120-160 strokes in a minute.

At different times of the day, this indicator can change in one direction or another. This means that the baby is already able to respond to external stimuli. In peace and quiet, the heart rate will decrease, and if the mother is restless, his heart will immediately respond to this with a rapid rhythm.

The heartbeat at this time is so well audible that, leaning against the stomach, even dad can hear it.

What happens in a woman's body at 25 weeks of obstetric gestation?

Now many women may experience slight swelling of the arms, legs and face. This is quite normal.

Frequent urge to urinate can seriously interfere with the usual rhythm of life. The reason for this is the growing uterus.

It is very important that a pregnant woman has the opportunity to visit the toilet as often as necessary.

There may be numbness in the hands. This condition is called carpal tunnel syndrome. Doctors suggest that this condition is most often observed in those who often work at a computer.

The uterus is now the size of a soccer ball. At each visit to the doctor, the height of the fundus of the uterus is measured. This indicator allows you to identify possible deviations in the development of the fetus. Normally, the height of the fundus of the uterus should correspond to the week of pregnancy. If the indicator is lower, it is possible that the fetus is lagging behind in development, if it is higher, the woman has polyhydramnios.

From time to time, the uterus begins to contract, preparing for the upcoming birth. The pregnant woman at this moment feels cramping pains, which should pass within a short time.

Closer to the third trimester, pregnant women increasingly feel pain in the hypochondrium. In this case, it is recommended to change the position.

The growing uterus puts more and more pressure on the stomach, slowing down its work. In this regard, a pregnant woman may be plagued by frequent shortness of breath and heartburn.

Changes in a woman's body at the 25th obstetric week of pregnancy

Breast and belly of a woman at 25 weeks pregnant

The belly is constantly growing. On average, every week it grows by 1 cm. This is much faster than early dates pregnancy.

In order to avoid feeling tired and heavy in the legs, you can purchase a bandage. It has many advantages - however, before you start wearing it, you should definitely consult your doctor.

The chest at this time is pleasantly rounded. Sometimes it even brings discomfort to the expectant mother. There is increased pigmentation on the nipples.

The secretion of colostrum is completely normal. Its consistency should be slightly sticky, the color is transparent or yellowish.

Movement during pregnancy

At week 25, stirring gives mothers an unforgettable experience. But, along with pleasant emotions, they can also cause physiological discomfort, as the baby grows every day, his tremors become stronger.

With normal development, the child should make about 4 movements per hour. For 12 hours, the total number of movements should be approximately 10.

It should be noted that not only the absence of movements, but also excessive fetal activity are considered dangerous. This may indicate developing intrauterine hypoxia.

hypoxia- oxygen starvation is dangerous because it can cause serious disruptions in the development of the baby.

What can and can not a woman during pregnancy at 25 obstetric weeks?

Now, as in previous periods of pregnancy, women should avoid contact with chemicals. This applies to both food and household chemicals.

You still need to be careful about your health. At the first sign of malaise, visit a doctor, and if necessary, do not delay treatment!

At this time, you should try to avoid long trips. But, if this week coincided with a vacation, mom should not forget to use sunscreen, sunbathe in the shade, and take short walks every hour to avoid puffiness. Active rest during this period is undesirable!

Much depends on the quality of food. Including the well-being of the mother. Therefore, you need to choose light meals that contain a maximum of nutrients.

It is important to know! To avoid heartburn, after eating, you must definitely walk or stand so that the food is better digested.

25 weeks of pregnancy obstetric period - how to understand that everything is fine?

The most important indicator that everything is normal is the movement of the child.

By this time, mothers already have time to study the wakefulness of their baby and notice that he likes to be active at the same time. If the child continues his movements "according to the schedule" - there is nothing to worry about.

Even if the baby is silent for a while, the mother can listen to his heartbeat with the help of a special device.

If any signs become suspicious - you need to inform your doctor without delay!

Child size

What happens to the fetus

The child is still in the process of maturation of the alveoli, which must be protected by a surfactant that prevents the lungs from sticking together during breathing. Your baby begins to breathe even though there is still no air in his lungs.

His sense organs are developing rapidly. A 26-week brain scan shows that the baby begins to respond to touch, and if you shine a light on the belly, the baby will turn its head. According to experts, this means that his optic nerve is already functioning.

Now you can clearly distinguish the periods of sleep and wakefulness of the baby. Even at this stage of development, there are already several phases of sleep - just like in an adult - a phase of REM sleep and slow sleep. Scientists have not yet been able to find out if the fetus has dreams, but there are suggestions that the baby experiences some experiences in a dream while processing the information received.

The baby already has a developed sense of smell, reacts to the mood of the mother, is able to smile, frown, feel pain. The development of bone and muscle tissue continues. Skeletal system accumulates calcium, strengthens. The kid constantly checks the strength of his muscular system - bends and unbends arms and legs, fists. The child feels the need to move, his tremors become more active and tangible by the pregnant woman. At 25 weeks, the baby already has well-coordinated movements. He can cover his face with his hands, suck his thumb, grab his leg. The 25th week of pregnancy is interesting in that the dominant hemisphere is already being determined, the baby’s further hobbies are being laid, left- or right-handedness. The fetal nostrils, which were blocked up until now, are now opening, and the baby's vocal cords are ready for a sweet cry.

Using a stethoscope, the doctor listens to the fetal heartbeat, which is normally 120-160 beats per minute.

What does a child look like

The baby's skin straightens out, becomes less wrinkled, brightens. Subcutaneous fat becomes more and more. At the 25th week of pregnancy, the face of the fetus already looks like the face of a newborn: the nose is well defined, the eyelids, eyelashes and eyebrows are formed, the cheeks are somewhat rounded, the auricles have taken their place on the sides of the head and have increased to their usual size. The process of development of the baby's auricles continues. If, for any reason, a woman has a premature birth, then it is by the auricles of the baby that his full term is determined.

There is an active formation of external genitalia, since genetic information about gender was laid down even at the conception of a child. A fingerprint pattern has formed on the hands and fingers, which is unique for each person. The fetus continues to accumulate brown fat, which promotes heat transfer.

Most babies are already in the uterus as needed for childbirth, with their heads to the exit, but if while he is with his buttocks down, there is still time for a coup. Due to the fact that the place is getting smaller, you, more and more clearly, feel its movements.

Your baby is about the size of ... a pomelo. Its weight is about 800 grams, its length is 320 mm (by the way, (a newborn is about 50 cm tall)), the heart rate is 120–160 beats per minute.

Fetal development

Good to know

All organs and systems of the child work in full force. But, if the baby decides to be born at 25 weeks of gestation, the question of his survival remains open. The viability of a child depends on its compliance with all developmental standards, on the nature of the diet and lifestyle of his mother, the presence of any diseases or pathologies in both the child and the mother.

The skin of the fetus continues to straighten, becomes elastic and lighter.

Folds appear on the arms and legs, under the buttocks.

Intensive strengthening of the musculoskeletal system continues.

A heartbeat is heard. The fetal heart beats at a frequency of 120-160 beats per minute.

The testicles in the boy begin to descend into the scrotum, and in the girls the vagina is formed.

Fingers gain dexterity and are able to clench into fists. He already gives preference to some hand (you can determine who the baby will be: left-handed or right-handed).

By this week, the baby has formed its own special mode of sleep and wakefulness.

The development of the bone marrow ends, it fully takes on the functions of hematopoiesis, which until now were performed by the liver and spleen.

The formation of bone tissue and the active deposition of calcium in it continues.

The lungs continue to accumulate surfactant, which prevents the lungs from collapsing after the first breath of the newborn. This is an unusually important time - the maturation of the lung tissue itself is now taking place. The baby's lung system is almost completely formed. Only the process of formation of the smallest bubbles, which are an indispensable condition for the normal operation of the entire respiratory system, is completed. These vesicles are alveoli. After the birth of the baby, they will be responsible for saturating his blood with oxygen. Now the alveoli are like surrendered balloons. And so it will continue until the very moment of the birth of the baby, more precisely until his first breath. At the moment when air first enters the alveoli, they will straighten out and begin their work of cleaning the baby's blood from carbon dioxide and saturating it with oxygen.

The baby's lungs continue to produce surfactant. By this period, almost the entire surface of the alveoli is already covered with this film. Substances from the composition of the surfactant, phospholipids, are also found in the amniotic fluid. If, for medical reasons, doctors decide on early delivery, the quantity and quality of phospholipids in the amniotic fluid taken from the uterus by puncture is used to judge the maturity of the fetus, its ability to breathe, and survive after an early birth.

At the twenty-fifth week of pregnancy, the baby continues to swallow amniotic fluid, along with microscopic skin flakes in it and particles of a cheese-like lubricant that covers the entire body of the fetus. The liquid part of the swallowed substance is gradually absorbed in the intestine, and the remaining particles are mixed with bile pigments, which are secreted by the liver. So throughout the pregnancy, the original feces - meconium - are formed.

Good to know

Under normal conditions, it does not leave the digestive tract until birth, but under conditions of lack of oxygen, it can pour into the amniotic fluid, after which the latter will acquire a greenish color.

What happens in a woman's body

The uterus continues to grow, and is approximately the size of a soccer ball.

An important indicator is the height of the bottom of the pregnant uterus, it should rise above the pubis by this time by 25–27 cm. If this indicator has deviations from the norm, the doctor observing the pregnant woman should find the cause of these deviations by prescribing additional studies. As a rule, a small height of the bottom of the uterus indicates a lag in development, or placental insufficiency.

Most pregnant women feel that the fetus has begun to move more actively, now it pushes 3-4 times within an hour. Sometimes the baby's movements can be painful. This suggests that the fetus is uncomfortable, and the woman should change the position of the body.

Good to know

As for the number of perturbations, then normal indicators it counts 4 tangible movements within an hour or 10 movements throughout the day. Reducing as well as increasing motor activity baby indicate any troubles, and require mandatory consultation with a doctor.

Due to the fact that the stomach is already large enough and continues to grow, internal pressure on the diaphragm and digestive organs increases, which naturally leads to constipation, heartburn, and shortness of breath. Especially these phenomena often disturb a woman in the second half of pregnancy. Heartburn can also appear in a dream, it turns out badly to remove it with improvised permitted means, you have to endure it.

Attention

Pregnant women should not use the folk method of rescuing heartburn with soda, this has a harmful effect on the child.

There may also be pain in the ribs and hip joint. Increasing in size, the uterus seems to push the bones apart in different sides, freeing up enough space for the fetus.

Every day, the skin of the abdomen stretches more and more, and with a hereditary predisposition, stretch marks may appear. It is very difficult to deal with them after childbirth, it is much easier to start preventing the appearance of this annoying nuisance. Huge selection for sale special means, but just applying them to the skin is not enough - you need to massage. Regular stroking in different directions, without strong pressure, alternating with light pinching, will improve the blood supply to the skin of the abdomen and reliably protect against stretch marks.

You may begin to experience discomfort when walking, especially if this is not your first pregnancy. The 25th week of pregnancy is the right time to pick up a prenatal bandage. No matter how much a woman would like to be slimmer, preference should still be given to the model that absolutely does not compress the tummy, but lifts it. Universal bandages that can be worn both before and after childbirth, as a rule, support the tummy less than standard ones.

Some mothers note that the baby begins to hiccup more and more often. Hiccups do not speak of pathology, but it is still worth telling your gynecologist about it. It usually occurs due to the fact that the baby swallows amniotic fluid, while the diaphragm, a large muscle that separates the abdominal cavity from the chest, is irritated. It is her contractions that appear as hiccups.

The mammary glands continue to grow. The secretion of colostrum may increase somewhat. And women who have not had it before notice the appearance of a few drops of colostrum from the nipples during the day. Some expectant mothers note that pigmentation has increased in the nipples and areolas, as well as along the line from the navel to the pubis. The skin in these places becomes brown.

The fullness of the nasal mucosa is preserved, which leads to constant obstructed nasal breathing. A new symptom also joins - vision may decrease.

Pain and heaviness in the legs are also considered a frequent occurrence - all this is a consequence of the increased mass of the pregnant woman, and hence the load on the legs. Pain in the legs is now felt by women who suffered from varicose veins before pregnancy. You can unload your legs and relieve the load on the veins by following simple rules: do not stay on your feet for a long time, wear compression stockings, “approved” by the doctor, do not sit with your legs crossed, arrange relaxing massage sessions for your legs every evening.

It happens that back pain, passing to the sacrum and buttocks, lasts a long time and seems unbearable. And then there is every reason to suspect in a pregnant woman such a phenomenon as sciatica, or sciatica. When carrying a baby, this condition occurs as a reaction to the constant pressure of the fetal head on the pelvic bones, which, in turn, causes pinched nerves in the lower back. The pain in this case is localized in the lumbar region, in the sacrum, even goes to the buttocks and legs. There may also be symptoms of numbness or tingling in the legs. In order to alleviate this condition, you should choose a hard mattress for the bed, avoid a long stay in a sitting position, as well as being on your feet, and do not bend over unnecessarily. With severe pain, the doctor may consider it necessary to take a course of physiotherapy.

Allocations during this period of gestation may be the result of hormonal changes. The nature of the secretions and their indicators may change. The appearance of new shades (brown, gray or yellow) of vaginal discharge should alert you. And if they are accompanied by itching, it could be thrush. If the discharge has an unpleasant odor, this indicates the presence of an infection. In any case, it is better to consult a doctor, do not take risks and self-medicate.

Good to know

Abundant clear discharge that constantly creates the effect of wet panties may indicate a rupture of the membranes, which can lead to infection of the fetus and termination of pregnancy.

Often during this period, hemorrhoids make themselves felt - the expansion of the veins of the rectum. This is due to the difficult outflow of venous blood due to the growing uterus, a tendency to constipation. Tell your doctor if you have symptoms of hemorrhoids.

Symptoms of hemorrhoids

Pain in the anus.

Bloody discharge from the anus associated or not associated with the act of defecation.

Swelling of hemorrhoids.

Itching in the region of the rectum.

During pregnancy, it is important to start the treatment of hemorrhoids at the time. There are drugs, the use of which is permissible during pregnancy, subject to medical supervision.

Stomach

The woman's belly becomes noticeable rounded, as the baby is actively developing and growing. The diameter of the abdomen increases every week by about one centimeter. The size of the uterus at this time can be correlated with the size of a soccer ball!

If the breasts have noticeably increased, it is worth buying special bras for pregnant women. Their inner surface is made of cotton, due to which they absorb moisture well. Bras for expectant mothers have wide straps, so the burden of supporting the breast is removed from the shoulders. In addition, white for pregnant women has no seams, which avoids chafing and skin irritation.

Now for the expectant mother and child, peace of mind is important. You should enjoy life and constantly communicate with the baby. Your anxiety, and even more so irritation, anger or fear, will immediately affect the child's condition, and, as you understand, not for the better. Do not overwork, eat in small portions, walk more with a calm, measured step. Please yourself and your baby with pleasant music, lacquer words, kind thoughts. Just a little more and you will not need to go to work. After three or four weeks, you can take maternity leave.

During the 25th week of pregnancy, self-care is the top priority. You continue to experience relief from common pregnancy symptoms such as lower back pain.

If you experience back pain during the 25th week of pregnancy, try to take a gentle stretching position. This will help strengthen and stretch your back, pelvis, and thigh muscles.

Rely on your hands and knees. Hands should be directly under the shoulders. Knees should be spaced 25 cm apart.

Slowly bend back, gently stretch your head to your knees, and the lower body to your legs. The arms should be straightened and stretched out, but they should not be joined at the elbows.

Maintain the position for five seconds.

Slowly rise to the starting position on your knees.

Repeat several times.

dangers

At week 25 there is a danger:

threats of preterm birth,

placental insufficiency (the placenta does not fully fulfill its function of providing the fetus with oxygen and nutrients),

preeclampsia (a complication of pregnancy, manifested by edema, increased pressure and the appearance of protein in the urine),

intrauterine growth retardation.

Good to know

If the fetus moves so actively that it hurts you, or calmed down and began to push less often, then you need to contact an obstetrician-gynecologist as soon as possible. This may indicate that the baby is not well.

During this period, some women feel the so-called false contractions. Real contractions differ from false contractions in smaller intervals between the occurrence and nature of the pain. If the pains are accompanied by mucous secretions, great regularity (more often than four times in an hour), pains in the sacrum - call ambulance and do not take any action until the doctors arrive.

For pain in the lower abdomen, accompanied by bloody vaginal discharge, immediately seek medical help, this is a symptom of an abortion.

In the seventh month, premature birth may occur. If such a threat appears, then it is often caused by isthmic-cervical insufficiency of the cervix, when the cervix opens much earlier than the planned date. Most often this occurs in women who have previously had miscarriages due to spontaneous miscarriages or abortion. To save the pregnancy, the doctor may advise you to go to the hospital, where the woman will be under constant supervision, and she will be prescribed treatment.

If the integrity of the membranes is broken, then this will most likely end in the birth of a premature baby.

You need to know about the dangers of premature birth, the child is not yet ready to live on his own!

Seek medical attention if you experience the following symptoms

Uterine contractions every 10 minutes or more, with or without pain.

Aching pain in the lower abdomen as during menstruation.

Feeling of pressure in the pelvis.

Aching pain in the back.

Abdominal cramps with or without diarrhea.

An alarming sign can be headaches if they are accompanied by significant swelling of the hands and face, symptomatic darkening of the eyes, abdominal pain, excess weight gain. A set of such signs is evidence of early, incipient preeclampsia. Although this pathological condition is typical more often for the later stages of pregnancy, however, its first “echoes” can already be felt now.

Analyzes

At week 25, a general examination of the pregnant woman is carried out, with the measurement of the abdomen, blood pressure, and weight. Of the laboratory methods at this time, a general urinalysis is necessary, in which the number of leukocytes, epithelium, and protein is estimated.

You take a urine test before each visit to the doctor, you visit the doctor at this time most likely once a month.

At week 25, your doctor may also take blood from you to test for anemia. With an active increase in blood volume in the body, the number of red blood cells per unit volume becomes smaller - a phenomenon called physiological anemia and is characteristic of the second and third trimesters. The content of hemoglobin - the main component of red blood cells - in the blood falls, in which case a blood test will show the hemoglobin content in the blood is less than 12 g / l. If anemia is detected, the doctor will prescribe medications necessary to maintain health.

Good to know

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of this disease in pregnant women. It is connected with the fact that for its development the fetus takes iron from the mother's body. In this form of anemia, the body produces enough red blood cells, but their iron content is low. Iron is one of the most important trace elements, it is prescribed to almost all pregnant women.

ultrasound

Ultrasound at this time is not a mandatory study. As a rule, it is prescribed in controversial cases, as well as in order to clarify the date of the upcoming birth and determine the degree of development of certain systems and organs.

The formation of the spine is carefully analyzed, by this time the baby should have 33 vertebrae, about 1000 ligaments and 150 joints. No less attention is paid to the heart, the frequency of which should be about 150.

They also measure the parameters of the baby, which are averaged and are used to analyze growth trends compared to previous indicators. In full growth, the baby no longer fits on the screen, so ultrasound is carried out in stages.

Fetometry (fetal dimensions)

BDP (biparietal size) 58–70 mm.

LZ (frontal-occipital size) 73–89 mm.

OG (fetal head circumference) 214–250 mm.

Normal sizes of long bones

Femur 42–50 mm.

Humerus 39–47 mm.

Forearm bones 33–41 mm.

Lower leg bones 38–46 mm.

If the height of the uterine fundus is less or more than normal, the amount of amniotic fluid and the size of the baby are determined using ultrasound.

Low or high water may indicate intrauterine infection and other problems. The size of the fetus is also assessed - excessive weight gain in a child occurs with improper nutrition of the mother, as well as with diabetes. Weight loss occurs when there is a violation of the uteroplacental blood flow, difficult living conditions for the mother, difficult working conditions, as well as diseases of the pregnant woman.

Estimation of the amount of water is rather subjective. Water spaces (vertical size of waters) are measured in four places, and these measurements are summarized. Thus, the amniotic fluid index is calculated. If polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios is detected by ultrasound of the fetus at 25 weeks of gestation, a thorough comprehensive assessment of the fetus in dynamics is required to exclude malformations, signs of intrauterine infection, etc.

With ultrasound of the fetus at 25 weeks of gestation, in addition to the structures of the child, the uterine muscle and its homogeneity are assessed. If you had cesarean section or other operations on the uterus, with an ultrasound of the fetus at 25 weeks of gestation, the condition of the scar on the uterus is studied. Further, the scar is dynamically observed until childbirth. Thinning of the scar on the uterus up to 2 mm is regarded as a sign threatening uterine rupture. In such cases, uterine contractions during childbirth or training contractions can lead to a partial divergence of the scar - an extremely dangerous condition for both the fetus and the woman. All pregnant women with a scar on the uterus are at risk and should carefully monitor their feelings. If you experience pain along the seam, you should immediately contact the doctor!

At the 25th week of pregnancy, the woman's condition begins to change. Just yesterday, everything seemed easy and simple, the expectant mother was quite mobile and agile, and a few days later she increasingly complains of pain, fatigue and begins to dream about the upcoming maternity leave. Why this happens and what else is remarkable about the 25th week, we will tell in this article.

How many months is this?

The 25th week of pregnancy is one of the final ones in the second trimester. After 26 weeks, the third trimester will begin - the “finish line” on the way to the long-awaited meeting with the baby. In the meantime, the penultimate week of the second third of the gestation period is going on, by calendar standards it is the sixth month, and according to obstetric standards, the seventh month of pregnancy has begun, and this week is the first in it.

This difference is due to the fact that the usual calendar has 9 months in pregnancy, and the lunar (obstetric) - 10. Each obstetric month has exactly 4 weeks, while the calendar can be from 28 to 31 days.

The beginning of the 25th week means that the 23rd week has gone from the moment of conception, and almost 21 weeks ago, the delay in menstruation began. Before the birth, there is still quite a long time - almost 15 weeks, and the 24-25th week, which will be discussed, is in its own way a "tipping point".

Feelings of a woman

Habitual daily activities begin to tire future mother. It is already becoming difficult for her to stand at the stove for a long time, sit at the workplace or at lectures at the university. The more kilograms she managed to gain by this week, the more noticeable the deterioration of her condition.

Outwardly, she may not show a look, but alone with herself, many pregnant women begin to dream that they don’t have to get up anywhere in the morning when the alarm goes off. The 25th obstetric week begins gradually, in stages, to “show” the expectant mother other aspects of the “interesting situation” - not the most pleasant. Everything that is happening now with the mother is directly related to the pace of development of her baby.

perturbations

The baby actively accumulates fat and muscle mass, grows, so it is quite natural that his movements become more and more noticeable for the mother. By the beginning of the 25th week, women are already well adapted to these sensations, because many, especially in the second or third pregnancy, feel the activity of their child for a month and a half. Yes, and primiparous women by the beginning of the seventh obstetric month are already quite “mastered” and clearly feel their baby.

Movements at this time are regular. However, it is not necessary to count them yet, doctors recommend doing this from the 28th week of pregnancy. In the meantime, it is enough to mentally fix the facts of the commission of a coup or other movement by a crumb. Very active, restless movements for several hours may indicate that the baby is experiencing discomfort. The lack of movement throughout the day is also considered alarming.

The activity of the kids increases gradually. The current period is considered the beginning of the peak of activity, now up to 32 weeks the baby will noticeably kick and push her mother, wake her up in the middle of the night, the future father can already feel his movements if he puts his hand on his wife's stomach. After 32 weeks, there will be less space for movements in the uterus, and the son or daughter will be less active.

Do not assume that the life of the baby in the womb is different from the mother. A woman and her child are inextricably linked. And it's not so much about the umbilical cord and the placenta, but about the emotional connection. The baby begins to move more actively if the mother is joyful and contented, and can calm down and lie low if she feels sad, she quarreled with someone, she feels bad.

Negative emotions cause increased production of stress hormones, their baby receives with maternal blood. Positive emotions stimulate the production of endorphins - hormones of happiness and pleasure. Their baby also receives from mom. Therefore, the general emotional background unites, and a woman now needs to carefully listen to the movements of her baby in order to establish that same invisible contact with him.

At night, the movements of a woman are felt brighter and more distinct, this is due to the fact that she relaxes and sensitivity increases. Babies behave more calmly during the day, because a woman walks, does something, moves, and the uniform motion sickness that occurs when she walks has a calming effect on the baby in the same way as on newborns.

Do not forget that all people are unique. At the 25th week of pregnancy, the baby may well already show her temperament: some pustules are now more active, while others are more calm, and their movements are felt somewhat less frequently.

pain

A variety of pain sensations at this time are nothing more than a smooth and gradual preparation of the female body for childbirth, as well as its adaptation to new physiological conditions of existence. There is also a certain pattern: the more extra pounds a woman has gained, the stronger will be and discomfort associated with pregnancy later dates.

At the 25th obstetric week, certain inconveniences are already felt by women carrying twins or triplets, as well as expectant mothers who carry a large baby under their hearts. The growing uterus causes overstretching of the ligamentous apparatus, a shift in the center of gravity, and it becomes difficult to wear the tummy.

Muscles tense, ligaments become denser and thicker, this can cause aching pain in the lower back. The lower back and back hurt mostly in the late afternoon, after a day full of business and movement. However, these pains are not permanent, they do not grow, they do not intensify.

If the lower back pulls cramping, the pain becomes stronger, despite the fact that the woman lay down and took a warm shower, an ambulance should be called: it is possible that premature birth begins.

A sprain often causes tingling in the right or left side, as well as a feeling of ache in the sacrum. Many women experience pain in their pubic bone this week. Such pains are not felt constantly, but only when the expectant mother rolls over from side to side, sits down from a lying position, and climbs the stairs. The pelvic bones begin to diverge, soften, become more mobile. This is necessary so that they can release the baby when the time comes for him to be born.

Now a woman needs to be extremely careful: if the pain in the pubis intensifies, becomes unbearable, if they begin to interfere with normal movements, the woman cannot sit, stand without pain, you should definitely contact your doctor, and also visit an orthopedist to exclude symphysitis - an unpleasant disease , in which delivery is often carried out by caesarean section.

Headaches, which were quite natural in the first trimester, can now be symptoms of a rather dangerous complication. For example, hypertension or hypotension.

If the head hurts daily, the pain itself is quite intense, the woman is prescribed strict control over the level of blood pressure. It is measured on two hands in turn. With an increase or a significant decrease, be sure to inform the doctor about it.

The legs now hurt and ache due to the increased weight of the woman, because the body simply does not have time to compensate for the load that is growing every day.

In addition to aching joints, symptoms of varicose veins may appear, because the uterus strongly compresses the inferior vena cava and disrupts normal blood circulation. Wearing special anti-varicose stockings will help to avoid such a dangerous and unpleasant pregnancy complication.

Allocations

The number of discharges at the 25th obstetric week continues to gradually increase. And there is no hint of pathology in this, since a large number of vaginal secretion is now necessary to ensure that the microflora of the genital tract remains normal.

In order not to suffer from the feeling of constant moisture in the perineum, a woman needs to use thin sanitary napkin, as well as monitor the cleanliness of the genital organs, because the vaginal secret is a favorable environment for the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.

The mother-to-be needs to know discharges that are light in color and do not have an unpleasant odor are considered normal at this time. A slight smell of sour milk is considered acceptable. Any other changes in the nature of the vaginal secretion should alert.

Pay attention to pink, cream, beige, brown discharge. All of them are varieties of blood discharge and can talk about both the pathology of the cervix and problems with the placenta.

Mucous discharge with blood is more often a sign of the discharge of the mucous plug from the cervical canal and the onset of preterm labor.

If the discharge has changed its normal color to green, brown or gray, this may indicate a bacterial infection. White discharge accompanied by plaque on the genitals white color, a fungal infection. White discharge, reminiscent of cottage cheese in its structure, is a thrush common among expectant mothers.

A healthy and normal discharge, even if quite profuse, is never accompanied by itching, bad smell. This cannot be said about the secretions that appear with infections of the genital tract. Blood and water secretions are now considered the most dangerous, because they can talk about placental abruption or discharge of water.

The more carefully a woman monitors her discharge, the sooner she will be able to detect changes. In this case, you should not hesitate: the infection needs treatment, and the threat of premature birth, if the water has not broken and the placenta is intact, is removed through medication.

You can prolong pregnancy with the help of "Duphaston", "Utrozhestan". These drugs are prescribed by the doctor in the dosage that this woman needs.

Pregnant women should be warned against wearing tampons. Their introduction increases the likelihood of infection in the genital tract, and the stagnation of vaginal secretions inside the vagina increases the likelihood of inflammation. Currently, only pads are allowed.

The mood of the expectant mother

As well as physical sensations, psychological ones also begin to change. Until recently, a woman was in euphoria, everything around her seemed beautiful and amazing, and her own situation was perceived as a miracle. From the 25th week, the mood of the pregnant woman becomes unstable again. But now it is not progesterone and hCG that are “guilty” of this instability, as in the early stages, but new physical sensations.

Very often, at that time, a woman, standing at the mirror, comes to the conclusion that she no longer has a waist, and her gait makes her look like a penguin. This causes concern for the relationship with her husband. Psychologists say that there is no need to worry: mentally normal men like such female helplessness, they begin to feel the need to protect and protect the mother of their future children. It `s naturally.

Many women at this time begin to think about the upcoming birth, and this instills fear in them. If a woman is impressionable and anxious, then this fear can be so strong that it is impossible to think about anything else. To avoid the development of pregnancy neurosis, experts recommend seeking help from psychologists or talking with your doctor, who will tell you how the birth goes, what pain relief methods are used today.

Now a woman can again become whiny and irritable. Household members should understand her feelings and fears, give her more attention, help around the house, and support her. For pregnant women, all antenatal clinics offer psychological assistance rooms free of charge, where, if necessary, you can come with your husband.

All over the world, it is customary to solve the psychological problems of pregnant women with the help of specialists, Russian women are not used to this yet, but there is already a tendency for improvement: according to the statistics of the Ministry of Health, about 35% of expectant mothers at the most different terms gestation.

Changes in the body

In the body of a pregnant woman at this time, a lot of invisible and obvious changes take place. The production of a hormone, relaxin, begins, under the influence of which tendons and ligaments, pelvic bones become more mobile and soft. The amount of melatonin pigment increases, and because of this, moles and freckles become brighter, and pigment spots may even appear. But the main changes occur with the belly of the expectant mother.

uterus growth

The uterus has grown so much that it almost came close to the lower line of the chest and props it up from below. The height of the bottom (this is the wider, upper part) of the uterus at this time is 23-27 centimeters. A woman feels the uterus not only when bending over or changing the position of the body, but also in a calm state.

The uterus is in abdominal cavity occupying almost 70% of its internal area. The internal organs are "pushed back" and pressed. The location of the main female reproductive organ allows a woman to independently quite easily determine its boundaries, as well as changes in the state of smooth muscles. The tone of the uterus is now noticeable to the touch: the stomach tenses, becomes more rigid.

The shape of the uterus has changed, now it is not oval and not round, as it was before, but irregular, repeating the shape of the amniotic sac. Soon she will tightly wrap around the baby from all sides, while he still has free space for movement. The length of the cervix is normally 35-45 mm, a shorter cervix poses a threat of premature birth and definitely needs medical advice and assistance.

Weight gain

By this week, all women are paying attention to the fact that weight gain is becoming more intense. There is nothing strange in this, because now the baby is actively gaining weight, and, in fact, two are being weighed. The amount of amniotic fluid increases, the placenta becomes heavier, and the amount of blood in the woman's body also increased.

Most expectant mothers at the 25th obstetric week have an excellent appetite, they want to eat all the time, and if you do not limit your desires, you can gain quite a lot by this time. The rate of increase depends on what the woman's weight was before pregnancy.

Thin mothers by this time should normally gain about 8.5 kilograms.
If before pregnancy a woman had normal weight, her increase this week should not be more than 7.5 kilograms.
Women with extra pounds and obesity by week 25 can gain no more than 4.5 kilograms.

A significant excess of these norms is a consequence of either malnutrition or incipient preeclampsia. With internal edema, the weight grows pathologically, and the swelling is not visually visible. In any case, you should consult your doctor. If preeclampsia is not detected, the doctor will recommend a special diet to normalize weight.

Extra pounds are very difficult to carry in the third trimester, they complicate childbirth and make the process of postpartum recovery of a woman longer and more protracted. And all the fair sex knows exactly how difficult it is to get rid of the extra 15-20 kilograms in order to become slim, desirable and beautiful again.

Breast

The mammary glands will no longer undergo significant changes until the very birth. They actively grew in the first trimester, which was accompanied by pain, burning, itching. Now the sensations in the chest are calmer, because the processes that are taking place are hardly noticeable. Now the ducts of the mammary gland are “tuning” for the upcoming breast-feeding- expand.

In multiparous women, colostrum may begin to be secreted. In women who are expecting their first child, the nipples are stronger and the ducts are narrower, they may not have colostrum. It is not necessary to squeeze out colostrum. It is enough to wash the chest two or three times a day with warm water to exclude the penetration of infection, because colostrum is a highly nutritious medium that pathogenic bacteria love very much.

At week 25, some women are surprised to note that there are no sensations in the chest, this makes them anxious about the upcoming lactation. Experts assure that there is no reason for concern: pain in the chest during pregnancy and subsequent lactation are not interconnected.

The breast skin is now prone to stretching, and so that later the mammary glands are not covered with ugly stretch marks, it is already necessary to take measures to prevent stretch marks.

It is important to use only hypoallergenic cosmetics, baby cream, and wear a good supportive bra with cups and wide straps.

Training bouts

There is an opinion among expectant mothers that since these contractions are called training, they should appear immediately before childbirth. But this is a common misconception. At the 25th week of pregnancy, training contractions may well begin and will not be considered something pathological.

False contractions or Braxton Hicks contractions are manifested in a short sudden tension of the smooth muscles of the uterus. At this time, they are irregular, do not appear every day.

By themselves, false contractions do not lead to smoothing and opening of the cervix. They cause more psychological discomfort than physical, quickly pass if a woman lies down, relaxes, rests or takes a warm shower.

The mechanism and purpose of false fights is not fully known to science. It is believed that they, along with the production of relaxin, the divergence of the pelvic bones, are certain stages in the preparation of the body for childbirth.

In women who have given birth before, training contractions usually appear closer to childbirth, and in primiparous women they can “start” in advance. There are also women who did not have training fights at all, neither in the first birth, nor in the second, and this did not in the least prevent them from giving birth to their children quite normally.

Other changes

The skin of a pregnant woman at week 25 becomes drier, the risk of infection and an allergic reaction increases. Therefore, any experiments with cosmetics, massage products, as well as sunbathing are contraindicated. At the current time, you should not visit the solarium and sunbathe for a long time in the open sun.

The diligent work of the sweat glands at this time causes excessive sweating. It is especially difficult for women who are carrying a baby in the summer. Properly selected clothing and personal hygiene will help to survive this period. Synthetic fabrics should be avoided.

Women at week 25 often feel dizzy. This is due to the increased amount of blood circulating in the body. For the same reason, a blush often flaunts on the cheeks of a pregnant woman.

Even if the pregnancy proceeds without complications, we must not forget about the likelihood of losing consciousness, fainting and getting injured. Therefore, you need to walk carefully without making sudden movements, do not abuse physical activity.

The growth of the uterus at this time becomes the cause of many changes in work at once. internal organs. So, the compressed intestine cannot fully function, resulting in constipation, less often - diarrhea.

Hemorrhoids can develop due to constipation and compression of the hemorrhoidal veins. Because of the mechanical impact on the bottom of the stomach, the growing uterus begins heartburn, and because of its pressure on the bladder, women complain of frequent urination.

At week 25, sleep is often disturbed in women, as it becomes increasingly difficult to choose a position that is comfortable for a night's rest. Increasingly, at night you have to get up to the toilet for a small need. Because of this, during the day a woman may feel somewhat lethargic, tired.

Fetal development

Less and less your child fits any standards and becomes more and more like himself. This week, the changes in it are not as big as every week in the embryonic period, but the processes that are now taking place in the child's body are very important. Now the fully formed organism of the crumbs must learn the main thing - the ability to survive in a world that is significantly different from the mother's womb.

At 25 weeks, the growth of the baby is already about 33 centimeters(from the coccyx to the crown of the KTR is about 28-29 centimeters), and its average weight is 700 grams. Already now there are children whose weight is about 800 grams, and there are babies who barely reach 600 grams.

The closer to childbirth, the more differences can be found between babies. The embryos were all approximately the same, and therefore their sizes on ultrasound were counted and compared with the norm to the nearest millimeter. Now, under the hearts of mothers, children grow large and miniature, tall and short, fat and thin. They are just as different as adults.

Appearance

The baby continues to accumulate subcutaneous fat, which makes the skin firmer and more elastic. Deep folds, which not so long ago covered the body and face, making the crumbs look like dried fruit, are smoothed out, cheeks appear, cute roundness on the arms and legs.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue grows rather slowly, and therefore the appearance of the baby is now also changing at a slow pace, but this happens every second.

The skin of the baby at week 25 acquires melanin pigment, and the skin becomes slightly yellowish. Previously, it was saturated red, but subcutaneous fat removed the network of blood vessels from the outer layers, and now the skin has a pink tint, almost the same as it will be at the time of the birth of the baby.

The baby's face is fully formed, as is the neck and ears. The auricles are very soft, since the cartilage tissue becomes stronger later than the bone tissue.

By the degree of softness of the auricles, doctors in the case of premature birth judge the maturity of the baby. The more mature he is, the harder his ears are. There are nails on the fingers, individual patterns “flaunt” on the fingertips that form fingerprints.

The body of the baby is densely covered with a cheese-like lubricant. Her job is to protect skin. Lubrication is held by thin translucent hairs - lanugo. The baby has already begun to gradually get rid of lanugo, the hairs fall out, and with them the amount of cheese-like lubricant decreases.

Closer to childbirth, normally, lanugo disappears completely or a small amount remains, and the lubricant remains only where it continues to perform protective functions - in the folds of the skin, in the groin, under the arms.

The body of the baby has become more proportional, at 25 weeks his head grows more slowly than the rest of the body, so he no longer looks like a tadpole. The legs have “caught up” in length and have already “overtaken” the handles, now the baby looks almost the way it will look after its birth.

A certain thinness is still preserved, but now every week the baby is gaining weight and becoming more plump and attractive.

Nervous system

The cerebral cortex continues to acquire furrows and convolutions. In the temporal regions, neurons are produced, thanks to which more and more neural connections are established in a small organism. This means that your baby is learning new movements and skills every day. Now he is fluent in grasping, swallowing and sucking reflexes.

He prefers the right or left hand, and this determines whether he will be born left-handed or right-handed. In the cerebral cortex, in some of its areas, when stimulated by a loud sound, a response occurs. React to the stimulus of the zone, which will later be responsible for the recognition of speech information.

The baby has developed tendon and muscle reflexes. If you tickle his hands or feet, he spreads his fingers like a fan. When something touches the lower abdomen, the baby bends reflexively.

Now we can safely say that the baby is dreaming. Doctors say that the phases of slow-wave and REM sleep in children at the 25th week of pregnancy alternate, as is the case in adults, the REM phase prevails. It is in this phase that people see dreams.

Respiratory reflexes are still being formed, the baby’s chest has been making corresponding movements for a long time, but the baby will be able to breathe on its own only after the 27th week of pregnancy, it is by this time that the formation of a complex of reflex connections is completed, which will give him such an opportunity if the baby hurries to be born on light.

Internal organs

The most important process at week 25 is the formation of the functional abilities of the lungs. The rest of the organs are already working, but the lungs are just beginning to accumulate surfactant, a substance necessary for subsequent independent breathing.

Lung tissue matures gradually. Now the stage of development of the alveoli is being completed - tiny vesicles that are located on the branches of the bronchial tree. It is they who will be responsible for gas exchange after the birth of the baby, saturate his blood with oxygen and rid it of carbon dioxide.

So far, the bubbles look like balloons that have not been inflated. After the first breath, air enters them for the first time. And so that they do not stick together again after exhalation, you need a certain amount of surfactant - a substance consisting of phospholipids and proteins. From the 25th week, the production of this substance begins in full force, and now every day the baby will have an increasing chance of survival in case of premature birth.

Baby's heart got bigger heartbeat remains frequent - from 150 to 170 beats per minute. The kidneys and bladder function similarly to adults, the digestive system has also begun to work. The stomach receives amniotic fluid, particles of lanugo enter the intestines, where, together with bile from the gallbladder, they form the original cal - meconium.

The baby will begin to empty the intestines only after birth. In some cases (hypoxia, entanglement, Rhesus conflict), this also happens in the womb, but then the waters turn green and become polluted. To save the baby, doctors often decide on early delivery.

sense organs

The child's sense organs are formed and working. The baby can open and close its eyes, blink, distinguish between light and darkness. He will begin to see the outlines in more detail a little later.

By the time of his birth, the baby will see at a distance of up to 20 centimeters and in general terms will already be able to distinguish his mother's face.

The organs of hearing work in full force. The kid listens to what is available to him - his mother's blood flow, the work of her intestines, digestion. The most precious sounds for him now are the beating of his mother's heart and her voice. The rest of the sounds from the outside still scare the baby.

At week 25, the basics of smell are formed. The baby has already learned to distinguish between tastes: he swallows amniotic fluid with pleasure if they have a sweetish taste, and frowns and spits if they are brackish or sour. The taste of amniotic fluid is affected by what the mother eats.

Viability

According to the WHO definition, the fetus at 25 weeks is quite viable. This means that in the event of a premature birth or the need for an emergency caesarean section, the baby has a chance to survive. Such chances, according to various sources, are estimated at 15-17%. Not as much as I would like, but not as little as it seems.

The main reason for the death of very premature babies is respiratory failure, the unpreparedness of the lung tissue for independent breathing. Therefore, children born at week 25 are placed in special incubators, supplied with oxygen, injected with surfactant preparations and actively warmed, since small and thin children at this time do not have enough subcutaneous fatty tissue, they cannot keep internal heat.

Timely resuscitation and intensive care give these children a chance to survive., but not a single neonatologist will dare to make predictions regarding their health. The degree of immaturity of the nervous system does not allow us to confidently assert that everything will be fine with the baby. There is a high probability of disability, mental retardation. However, the percentage of the probability of a good outcome is significantly higher than a week earlier.

It is impossible to call a planned ultrasound examination at week 25, because the first two screenings are left behind. An ultrasound will be done this week, if necessary, unscheduled. This may be necessary for the doctor if there are certain concerns for the health of the woman and the fetus.

Also, no one has the right to forbid the expectant mother to visit the ultrasound diagnostic room on her own if she wants to look at the baby, take a picture of him for the family album, and also find out the gender, if for some reason it was not possible to do this before.

The gender of the baby is now clearly distinguishable, and the doctor will be able to predict the birth of a son or daughter with great accuracy. In just a couple of weeks, it will be more difficult to do this, because the baby will grow up, he will have to take a more compact position in the uterus, in which the genitals are often covered from the eyes of the doctor by the umbilical cord, legs, and arms.

Of course, the expectant mother is very interested in whether her baby meets the developmental standards for a given period. Only a doctor can answer the question, because much is evaluated individually.

As for the existing average norms for fetometry of the fetus, then at week 25 they are as follows:

BPR - 53-71 mm;

LZR - 72-93 mm;

DBK - 36-52 mm;

DKG (lower leg or tibia length) - 32-45 mm;

DKP (length of the bones of the forearm) - 33-41 mm;

Head circumference - 214-250 mm;

Abdominal circumference - 183 -229 mm.

This week, the doctor conducting the ultrasound can clearly see the internal organs of the baby, the structures of the brain. If any anomalies are found in their structure and development, the woman is sent to expert ultrasound and consultation with neonatologists and related specialists.

Dangers and risks

The load on the female body at the 25th week of pregnancy is great. Therefore, it is now important to monitor the state of one's own health, especially if a woman has a history of chronic diseases. It is possible that right now colitis, pyelonephritis, gastritis and other ailments can worsen.

There are other dangers that can complicate the course of pregnancy this week.

Fetoplacental insufficiency

In a quarter of cases of fetal death, the cause lies in fetoplacental insufficiency. It significantly complicates pregnancy, causes hypoxia, developmental delay. Violations in the "mother-placenta-fetus" system increases the risk of preterm birth. This condition can develop against the background of the mother’s diseases, especially if she has problems with the kidneys and heart, lungs and hormonal levels.

Fetoplacental insufficiency can develop as a consequence of a viral infection, as well as become a consequence of a bacterial infection. The placenta can suffer at a high temperature, which rises if a woman in an “interesting position” has the flu, SARS, and a cold.

The cause may also be obstetric pathologies: placenta previa, pelvic position of the baby, Rhesus conflict between mother and fetus.

Preeclampsia, which can also manifest itself in the current period, not only itself becomes the cause of placental disorders, but also significantly aggravates them if they are caused by a different reason. At the current time, the symptoms can manifest as a threat of premature birth, pain and discharge of an atypical nature, as well as a lag in the growth rate of the baby according to ultrasound.

Fetal growth retardation

Developmental delay at week 25 is quite often associated with placental disorders, in which the child is deficient in nutrients, gas exchange is disturbed. The reasons can also be pathologies and anomalies in the structure of the internal organs of the baby, intrauterine infection, malnutrition of the mother and her bad habits.

If the height of the bottom of the uterus is less than it should be at this time, the doctor may prescribe an ultrasound. If this diagnostic method also confirms the suspicions, then the woman will definitely be offered to undergo treatment.

After establishing and eliminating the cause that caused violations in the development of the baby, vitamin preparations are prescribed, drugs that improve uteroplacental blood flow.

In most cases, such treatment gives positive results, and the baby manages to “catch up” on the missing grams and centimeters before birth.

Colds, flu and SARS

The woman's immunity remains reduced, at week 25 there is a real danger of contracting seasonal or other infectious and non-communicable diseases. That is why now it is important to comply with hygiene requirements, limit contacts with a large number of people, stay in crowded places.

If the precautions did not help, the woman has a sore throat, a fever, a severe runny nose, you should definitely call a doctor at home. Treatment must be prescribed by a doctor. Attempts to self-medicate with medications or prescriptions traditional medicine can lead to severe complications.

Preeclampsia

As before, a woman should follow all the doctor's recommendations, including making sure that edema does not appear. Preeclampsia is a dangerous complication that can lead to convulsions and death of the mother and fetus. Preeclampsia often causes hypoxia, premature birth.

If the rings suddenly stopped being removed from the fingers, the old shoes became too small, characteristic grooves on the skin around the ankle remain from the socks, you should definitely inform the doctor about this. The same should be done if the weight began to rise for no reason: this may be a symptom of dangerous internal edema. At the current time, a woman should reduce the amount of salt consumed, since it is able to retain fluid in the tissues.

In addition to a careful attitude to the diet, you should lead an active lifestyle, do not drink alcohol in any form, do not smoke. All this will help reduce the likelihood of developing gestosis.

Analyzes and examinations

This week, mandatory tests and examinations are not scheduled. If a woman is scheduled to see a doctor this week, then a couple of days before it, a general urine test should be taken. Women with a negative Rh factor at week 25 donate blood from a vein to determine the antibody titer, if such an analysis was not done a week ago. Other examinations are assigned exclusively on an individual basis.

At week 25, a woman should be especially careful to prevent premature birth. The baby, although it is already considered viable, is too early to be born. To do this, you should exclude physical overload, lifting weights, taking medications without the knowledge of a doctor.

In addition, you need to continue walking in the fresh air, reducing the walking time to 10 minutes and increasing the number of walks by 1-2. There are other recommendations that will be useful for a pregnant woman.

Organize a "pregnant" photo session. So far, I have enough strength to plan and take some beautiful photos with my husband, which will later remind me of the difficult and exciting months of waiting for a small miracle.

The required amount of sleep for a woman at this time increases to 9-10 hours a day. Keep this in mind when planning your schedule. It is best to sleep on your side, placing a small pillow under your legs in the lower leg area. This will help to avoid swelling, and also make sleep more comfortable.

You can begin to prepare the nipples of the mammary glands for the upcoming breastfeeding. To do this, they should be easily massaged, after hygiene procedures and a shower, wipe with a hard towel. But this should be done very carefully. Stimulation of the nipples contributes to the production of oxytocin - a substance that brings the uterine muscles into a tonic readiness for contraction.

You can have sex if the doctor does not prohibit it. The couple needs to responsibly approach the choice of positions in order to exclude pressure on the uterus, as well as deep penetrations. The use of lubricants, intimate gels, sex toys is not safe, as is anal sex.

A woman should follow the drinking regimen. Liquid should not be small. The recommended amount is 1.5 liters of clean drinking water per day. However, you should not take water immediately before bedtime, as this can lead to swelling.

Going on a trip you should check with the doctor if there are any contraindications for the flight. Airlines do not ask a pregnant woman at 25 weeks for a doctor's note. If the pregnancy proceeds without complications, you can fly.

A woman should protect herself from stress. Nervous shocks at this time often provoke premature birth, negatively affect the well-being of the child.

To make it easier for yourself the last weeks before going on maternity leave, you can start wearing a special prenatal bandage. There are many models of this orthopedic device, each with its own characteristics. You should choose after fitting.

The 25th week of pregnancy is a crucial period, overcoming which means that the life and health of the fetus will no longer be in jeopardy. It is believed that the subsequent stage will be much easier and the chances of healthy birth the child is much higher.

This is the so-called “psychological” period, when a woman practically gets to know the baby and is in very close contact with him, establishing mutual understanding with him. Vivid memories of the uterine period in already adults refer mainly to these days. The mood of the mother greatly affects the state of the child - the reaction of the fetus can be instantaneous. The baby almost daily reminds of his presence and gradual readiness for birth. The child is sufficiently developed, but not yet ready for birth and existence outside the mother's womb. The most important event is ahead, preparations for the birth begin.

Sensations and symptoms of the 25th week

The general well-being and sensations at the 25th week of pregnancy in women are mainly as follows:

There is swelling of the breast, an increase in the mammary glands, it is possible to release white discharge from the nipples, their pigment color intensifies, the longitudinal line from the navel to the groin becomes brighter. Perhaps the appearance of age spots on various parts of the body.
The movement of the fetus is felt, the child pushes the stomach with his feet from the inside several times in a row for an hour, which sometimes leads to pain. This is a possible sign of an uncomfortable position of the fetus - in this case, the woman should change her position, stretch. Gradually, the movements of the child, initially chaotic, stabilize and return to normal.
The abdomen is rounded, approaching its maximum size. A woman's uterus enlarges to accommodate the growth of the fetus, which can lead to constipation due to displacement of the organs.
The weight of a pregnant woman is increasing, but you should adhere to the standards and not gain more than 350 grams per week.
Puffiness increases, pressure rises more often, protein may appear in the urine.
Increased varicose veins, which worries many women. In general, this unpleasant factor does not interfere with walking and moving, but it has an unpleasant aesthetic effect and, in general, indicates a malfunction in the body. After childbirth, the condition of the veins most often returns to normal with regular rest.

It is important to note that any symptoms can appear very individually and depend on the woman's health status, genetic predisposition and possible environmental influences.

Fetal condition

The child's body completes its formation and is characterized by the following features:

At the 25th week, the child's face is already forming in the womb: a pronounced nose appears, the ears move to the right place - on the sides, cheeks, eyes, eyelids and eyelashes with eyebrows develop. The size and shape of the auricles determine the degree of maturation of the fetus.

The lungs of the child are formed, the body is preparing for the transition to oxygen consumption from the outside. Alveoli develop in the mouth, which are initially protected by surfactants to keep them from sticking together.
The child can already clench his fists and actively move them. By which hand moves more often, you can determine whether he will be right-handed or left-handed. Also, the baby can suck his fingers, pull his skin, study himself with his fingers, being in an unconscious state.
The weight of the fetus is on average about 700 grams, and the height is about 35 cm.
The genetically formed facial features of the child are visible, the cheeks turn pink, the subcutaneous layer is formed.
In the process of examination on ultrasound, you can determine the sex of the unborn child. The indicators of the condition of the fetus, its heartbeat, which can be 140/150 beats per minute, are also checked.

The body of the child is covered with a light fluff, the formation of blood vessels ends.

The mode of sleep and rest of the fetus is established - it is noticeably felt when the child is sleeping or awake, resting, his heart rate changes. On average, a baby sleeps about 20 hours a day.
The reactions of the child and the emotional sphere are formed: joy, sadness, anxiety or pleasure. There is a reaction to sounds, music, laughter.
The movements of the fetus are already quite conscious. The norm is the number of movements up to 15 times per hour. The lull can last about 3 hours. Too sudden movements can indicate a lack of oxygen. Twins can be more painful to move.
The formation of bone tissue is actively working - the formation of the bone marrow is accelerated, the bones of the skeleton are strengthened, the load on the hematopoietic system increases. The bone marrow is responsible for the formation of blood cells in an adult - red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. At the 25th week of fetal maturation, this function is released, new cells are already formed specifically in the bone marrow, separating the liver and spleen from participating in this process, which become only concomitant sources of blood cells.

Among the dangerous tendencies that threaten the fetus and woman during this period are the following deviations:

There is a risk of premature contractions and childbirth due to various factors and the predisposition of the woman's body.
It is possible to delay the development of the fetus due to various factors.
The condition of the placenta, the so-called fetoplacental insufficiency, may worsen. This term means violations in the main functions of the placenta - providing the fetus with nutrition and oxygen. Placental insufficiency may be a consequence of pathology of a gynecological and extragenital nature, and other complications. The result of such a violation may be a delay in the development of the child, hypoxia, the threat of miscarriage.

Problems with the placenta are diagnosed by ultrasound and CTG, during the Doppler blood flow procedure in the uteroplacental region. The treatment process includes a therapeutic complex to improve the general condition of a woman and eliminate the underlying disease that caused this dysfunction. A drug course can be aimed at treating the infection that caused such a deviation, at stimulating hematopoiesis processes (with anemia). In especially dangerous cases, doctors are forced to stimulate early labor or perform a caesarean section to save the fetus.

Nutrition at 25 weeks pregnant

In general, the female body is designed by nature to transfer all the necessary substances to the child, however, during the crucial period of the 25th week of pregnancy and later, special attention should be paid to the comprehensive provision of the fetus with the most important resources.

At this time, you should carefully control your diet, enrich it with all the necessary vitamins and minerals. This is not a normal meal to provide energy to the body, but a method of feeding the baby, which depends on the mother.

The menu at this stage of pregnancy should include a lot of vegetables, fruits, dairy and meat dishes. Of great importance is the balanced intake of vitamins, which serve as growth resources for the baby's body. Deficiency of certain trace elements can lead to abnormalities in the development of the fetus or health problems. A good vitamin stimulant can serve as a vitamin cocktail of fruit and vegetable pomace, squeezed juice.

Nutrition affects the well-being of the mother. Delicious food stimulates increased release of sugar in the blood, which the child immediately feels and becomes more active. It is important to drink enough water and fluids.

You can not overeat and gain weight - this will not help the child, but will lead to shortness of breath and swelling. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe a diet. You should not eat a lot of salty foods, drink plenty of fluids - this can cause swelling in the arms and legs and lead to preeclampsia. To speed up metabolism and stimulate digestive processes, it is important to eat more beets and dairy products, prunes. Useful carrot juice with milk.

You should exclude all harmful foods from the diet that contain preservatives, excess sugar, carbohydrates: fried potatoes, smoked sausages, soda and sweets. An abundance of sweets, chocolate and flour will not bring any extra energy, but will create an imbalance in blood sugar, can put the body on the brink of diabetes. You can replace sweets with dried fruits - prunes, dried apricots, dried dates. They do not contain excess sugar and do not contribute to weight gain, but are rich in natural vitamins.

Useful decoctions of herbs and berries, wild rose, as well as fruit drinks from fresh berries and fruits (according to the season).

In general, food should be varied and tasty, bring pleasure. The good mood of the mother is the key to the healthy well-being of the child.

The 25th week of pregnancy brings closer and closer the moment of the birth of the baby, whose body is almost formed. Therefore, you should pay great attention to your condition, monitor your diet and undergo a medical examination in a timely manner.

If you have the slightest complaints about the state of health and the fetus, you should contact an obstetrician-gynecologist for examination and prevention of complications. Analyzes and comprehensive examinations are carried out only when ailments and complaints appear.
With the appearance of age spots, darkening of the skin or any inflammatory signs, you should not worry - such neoplasms will disappear after childbirth. You do not need to use bleaching agents, creams and ointments - they may contain hormones, the result may be unpredictable and even harm the process of pregnancy. Moreover, there are a number of specific cosmetics, which are directly prohibited for use during pregnancy, especially in the later stages. Any cosmetic procedures for this purpose in the salons are also contraindicated.
At the time of active movement of the fetus, pain may appear. If it occurs regularly, you should consult a doctor who will help change the position of the fetus. You should also be examined if the child does not move, behaves too quietly - this may be a sign of fetal distress. An obstetrician-gynecologist will identify the cause and help to cope with the problem. It is best to lie on your side most of the time.
You should purchase a special maternity bra made of cotton and elastic fillers. natural fabrics better absorb wet secretions, sweat, which increase in late pregnancy. Wide and comfortable straps allow you to adjust the position of the chest and the load, save nice shape breasts and keep her skin from stretching. Models of such bras also do not have seams, which will help to avoid irritation and chafing.

You should be careful not to have sexual relations with your spouse or be careful not to harm the fetus. Sometimes doctors can limit the sexual life of a married couple in order to prevent violations in the development of the child.
For any unusual discharge from the genitals, the appearance of grayish or yellow lumps of mucus with a sour smell, you should immediately consult a doctor. Can be used panty liners. Such discharge may be signs of violations in the development of the fetus. They can be preceded by sharp pains in the abdomen, discharge with bloody content, a firm state of the uterus. You should immediately call an ambulance and monitor the possible waste of amniotic fluid. A small amount is not dangerous, but the water can break quite strongly, stimulating the onset of preterm labor.
A woman should rest more, not get carried away with loads, household chores, even in case of very good health.
To prevent the occurrence of varicose veins, it is recommended to swim more, rest regularly and not walk very much, but in general, do not deny yourself movement, perform gymnastics for pregnant women with great care. While resting, the legs can be placed slightly above body position to move fluid and reduce fatigue.

It is very important not to be nervous or angry, to tune in to positive emotions, since the release of adrenaline stimulates the activity of the child. The fetus instantly reacts to the state of the mother - from her enjoyment of food to stress.
It is recommended to communicate with the baby more often, sing him lullabies or listen to classical music. Despite his "conclusion", the child is in the stage of active exploration of the world from within the womb, so it is important to provide him with a full range of positive experiences.
Doctor's observations should take place twice a week, ultrasound and urine and blood tests are regularly performed.
Regular examinations and ultrasounds allow you to get the first photographs of the child - even before the birth. Ultrasound at week 25 can determine the sex of the baby and identify possible developmental disorders that can be corrected. Also, the estimated date of future birth can be determined on ultrasound.
For example, if breathing problems are identified, artificial stimulation of the child's respiratory organs can be carried out in case of preterm birth. A child born during this period can survive and develop with proper care without complications.

Any deviations or poor health are not a reason for despair, so keep your balance and enjoy communicating with your child. Your health is in your hands, take care of it and tune in to the best. And the approaching major event- childbirth - will be painless and successful if all recommendations are followed.
