Size Of Baby During Twenty Fifth Week

During the twenty fifth week of pregnancy the size of the baby is roughly around thirteen and half inches long and its weight is about one and half inches. The vital statistics of the baby will vary in every individual case after this week. This is the prime reason as to why some babies are born weighing just seven pounds whereas some babies have a body weight of around ten pounds at the time of their birth. Considerable amount of development takes place in the lungs, especially in the formation of the blood vessels in it. There are good chances that the baby’s nostrils will be in a position to open up by this week. Since the size of the uterus keeps on growing during this time, one can face some amount of pressure in the lower back. Because of this pressure in the lower back, women tend to experience pain in this area. The intensity of these pains might increase during the course of pregnancy. 

Pain In Back , Lower Legs During Pregnancy

Sciatica is a common syndrome which is experienced by many women during the time of pregnancy. The cause of this condition is basically due to the fact that the head of the baby puts a lot of pressure in the pelvic bones which in turn causes compression in the nerves that are present in the lower back. This is why pain is quite evident in the areas of legs and lower back. Some women experience such extreme pain in their legs that they are not able to walk properly due to it. After delivery these type of pain does not have to be experienced by women, but during the time of pregnancy many people prefer to incorporate different ways in their life through which the pain can be reduced. For example, sleeping on a firm mattress or application of ice packs on the affected area is adopted in order to exterminate the pain. 

Bodily Changes During Pregnancy

During the twenty fifth week of pregnancy women can observe a glow on their faces. This is the right time to discuss about pre term labor with your physician, so that you have a fair idea about the symptoms associated with this condition. Your doctor will advise you about the process that needs to be followed in case your symptoms give a hint about the occurrence of pre term labor.

Tests During Pregnancy

During this time the quantity of discharge (of vaginal fluids) increases but many women confuse it with amniotic fluids. One can detect the difference between the usual vaginal fluids and the amniotic fluid, by wearing a panty liner. If it gets soaked constantly, then it is time for you to see the doctor. If you are still unsure about this issue then the doctor can perform an ultrasound test through which the quantity of amniotic fluid can be measured. A vaginal exam can also be suggested in order to confirm whether the membranes have got broken prematurely or not. During this week the doctor might also suggest a glucose screening test, to find the presence of gestational diabetes in the mother.
