Pregnancy Week 22

Week 22 Pregnancy Vlog

WHAT WEEK?

22

HOW BIG IS THE BABY?

Size of a bell pepper 🫑 (about 29cm / weighing 450g)

WHATS NEW THIS WEEK?

Sore hips

Feeling a lot of pressure in my pelvis and lower tummy

Legs feel swollen🤷‍♀️ apparently that’s also normal in pregnancy!

I keep getting this metalic taste in my mouth and when I googled it (I know I should stop googling 🙄 👀 ) this came up:

Dysgeusia, or a change in your sense of taste, during pregnancy likely is caused by pregnancy hormones. It may cause you to hate a food that you normally love, or enjoy foods you normally dislike. Sometimes it can cause a sour or metallic taste in your mouth, even if you're not eating anything.

I feel so much of everything I think because I’m very in tune with body and the smallest thing is big for me.

Baby is moving SO much now, it's just the very best feeling ever!
