Overview
Congratulations -- you're on week 24!
Physical Changes
Expect to gain about a pound per week this month. Glucose screens for detecting gestational diabetes are given between this week and 28 weeks. Emotional Feelings
You are probably enjoying all of the attention you and your baby are getting. You should be able to share interaction with the baby with your partner. About Baby
Your baby is about 8.5 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 1.2 pounds. If you haven’t noticed yet , you might feel a rhythmic jerking from the baby. You guessed it…hiccups! Things To Consider
Glucose tests are taken 1 hour after drinking a very sugary drink. This is not a fasting glucose so make sure you eat a protein breakfast. This is not the time to eat pancakes and syrup. You can also discuss the option of eating two pieces of toast (no jelly) and 8 ounces of orange juice in place of the sugar drink.
