By the stage of pregnancy 22 week, your baby has now taken the form of a newborn baby, but is extremely small. A great deal of development will continue to occur throughout the pregnancy stages. At 22 weeks pregnant you will be surprised to know that the baby’s skin appears wrinkly, but this is because there is not enough weight to fill the skin out. The lips are becoming more distinct. The eyes have completely formed. The eyelids and eyebrows are in place and the pancreas is continuing to mature which are the signs of a healthy baby.

At pregnancy week 22, your baby has very little fat under his skin and the skin itself is extremely thin. The baby’s hearing becomes better and he is able to recognize your voice. The teeth ovaries begin to form in his gums and the hair is growing on his head. If you feel tired or dizzy, you should take a blood test and necessary treatment to bring up your hemoglobin level. You will need to keep a healthy diet right through the pregnancy and after birth of your baby.

After going through your pregnancy stages, once you have reached the 22 week of pregnancy you may have done everything from eating wisely and exercising well, to produce a healthy baby. You may feel fine or you may be tired. Both are normal. As your uterus grows and expands, the ligaments holding it in place may become sore. Your baby weighs almost a pound now, and the most exciting part is that your baby can hear sounds outside the womb.

Remember to keep calm and enjoy the pregnancy and birth of your baby. If you move around a lot, you may have a dull ache at the end of the day. Sudden pains when you change positions or stand up are normal when you are 22 weeks pregnant. If these pains are accompanied by a change in discharge, spotting or cramping, notify your doctor immediately and seek treatment.
