earty congratulations expectant mother!!! You have crossed halfway. An anomaly scan is suggested sometime around this week to ensure all vital parts are consistently established. Do not forget to visit the doctor!!! Witness your baby live in action when it is sucking its thumb getting ready to survive once it’s out by sucking on your breast. At your anomaly scan, your sonographer will be able to measure your baby's head circumference. Say hello to your baby this week and see what your body has accomplished for the past 20 weeks. Check the following checklist you have to do this week.

our uterus is enlarged and at the level of navel this week. Heartbeats gradually rise and pump out close to 7.5 litres of blood every minute. Pregnancy hormones cause a high blood flow rate. This means its most likely that you can develop varicose veins. You may also develop heat rashes beneath armpits and legs. A dark pigment termed ‘Chloasma’ can develop on your forehead and chin area. This is common in 80% of pregnant women. Do not panic and continue your focus on a healthy lifestyle. Here’s what to expect this week:

our baby is now the size of a Cavendish Banana. Your baby is now 8 inches(20 cm) in length and weighs about 0.28 kgs. At 20th week, your baby continues to sleep and wake up at almost equal intervals. However, outside noise can disturb the baby time and again. If you haven’t already felt your baby’s kicks, this week you will definitely feel them. Enjoy them!!! Following are the development of your 'foetus' this week.
