Your baby is the size of a slice of cake!
Fun Fact!

Dos and Don'ts
- Do keep tabs on your mental health
- Don't indulge in hot tubs
What should you expect in Week 17?
- Your baby is hard at working making adipose. Adipose is fat tissue that first appears in the face, neck, breasts, and stomach wall, Very Well Family reports.
- From there, fat will begin to develop throughout the entire body.
- And with that growth comes some lower back and pelvic pain for mom.
- Your uterus and muscles are stretching to make room, so it’s important to listen to your body and take it easy if you need to.
- Eating a nutritious and balanced meal while also finding a safe activity you enjoy can help with these aches and pains!
- And don’t forget to stay hydrated and get as much sleep as possible!
- Some low-risk exercises include indoor cycling, dancing, aerobics, prenatal yoga, swimming, stretching, and walking.
