Overview
Congratulations -- you're on week 21!
Physical Changes
Everyone can see that you are pregnant now. Your uterus is above your belly button. You have probably gained between 10- 15 pounds. Emotional Feelings
It is very common to feel a little weary about your recent weight gain. Try to keep in mind that you have to gain weight to grow a baby. Pamper yourself with a new haircut, facial, massage or new outfit. About Baby
Your baby measures about 7 inches and weighs about 10.5 ounces. It is steadily gaining fat to keep warm. The organ systems, like digestion, are continuing to mature. A waxy film, called the vernix caseosa, is being produced by your baby's oil glands and covers the skin to keep it supple in the amniotic fluid.
Things To Consider
As people become aware of your pregnancy, don’t be surprised if perfect strangers try to touch your belly. It is such a strange phenomenon that people who would never dream of touching someone belly, thinks pregnancy is a green light to do so. You definitely have a right to be upset if this occurs, but also know that most are just so interested, that they are not thinking clearly.
