Week 19th
Your Baby
The length of your baby is 5.9 inches now. His nervous system develops intensively and his vertebral column becomes thicker. Your little one moves, turns around, kicks  his legs, sucks his finger and breathes. The amount of his brain cells becomes bigger. Only imagine that by the time he arrives, his weight is to become 15 times more than it is now.

You
Approximately during this period of time you may notice your baby’s first movements, but each woman feels them individually, not at the same time. At first you may not understand that these light movements inside your belly are the kicks of tiny legs. Strokes of little baby’s hands may be compared with the movements of a little dolphin. These strokes and kicks will bring bunch of pleasure to you. If you want to feel them better, then lie down on your left side and wait for a minute. Your baby will let you know about himself. You will feel these kicks becoming stronger and stronger as the time will pass. It may even happen that they will make you awaken you in the middle of the night or a sudden strong kick can make you hold your breath for a moment any time. If your husband hugs you he will notice some movements of the child as well.

A Wise Tip
Does your mother or grandmother suffer from varicose veins? Then you should try to avoid this problem. Eat more products containing vitamin C (this vitamin will make your veins healthy): lemons, currants, green fruits and vegetables, parsley, etc. Take a contrast shower for your legs every day. Ask your doctor about an ointment, able to help your legs feel better.
