Introduction

Welcome to week 20 of your pregnancy!

What’s Mama up to?

Woo-hoo, half way! You may now start to notice changes in your nails and hair. Hair often becomes thicker (and starts growing in unwanted places!) and nails also become stronger. Vaginal discharge will continue to increase until you give birth as this is your body’s way of protecting it from bacteria.

What’s baby up to?

Your baby is approximately the size of a banana. If your baby is a girl, she will have millions of eggs already formed in her ovaries. If your baby is a boy, his testicles are starting to descend from the tummy into the scrotum. They have now stretched out enough that they can be measured head-toe rather than crown-rump.
