18 Weeks Pregnant - Signs of Pregnancy
Mother
At 18 weeks pregnant your growing bump may be starting to make your clothes feel uncomfortably tight and it may be time to shop for some new clothes!
You may also start to notice your back aches at times and that you are a little off-balance; choose flatter footwear if this is the case!
Baby
Your baby starts making breathing motions this week as he prepares his lungs for breathing after birth; since there is no air in utero he inhales his amniotic fluid, sometimes causing hiccups which you might even feel! His vocal cords are formed now and the placenta continues to grow and nourish him.
