Tu bebé tiene 18 semanas de vida, mide 14 cm. y pesa alrededor de 210 gramos.
Sus ojos y orejas ya han alcanzado su ubicación definitiva y sus huesos son más fuertes.
¡Cómo se mueve! ¿Estará bien? Por supuesto que está bien, el líquido amniótico le permite realizar amplios movimientos y como es tan pequeño puede girar sobre sí mismo todo el tiempo.

¿Qué me sucede esta semana?
El tamaño de tu útero aumenta día a día y su fondo ya casi alcanza el ombligo.
Definitivamente ya luces muy embarazada y te sientes orgullosa al mostrar tu abdomen.
Has cambiado la postura, porque de lo contrario te caerías.
Puedes experimentar dolor en la región lumbar de la espalda debido a esto.
Los baños de inmersión y dormir en una cama dura puede ser muy útiles para aliviar estas nuevas molestias.

How your baby's growing:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
How your life's changing:
Hungry? An increase in appetite is pretty common about now. Make it count by choosing meals and snacks that are rich in nutrients instead of empty calories (chips, French fries, candy, and other sweets). Bigger, more comfortable clothes are a must now as your appetite and waistline grow.

Your cardiovascular system is undergoing dramatic changes, and during this trimester your blood pressure will probably be lower than usual. Don't spring up too fast from a lying or sitting position or you might feel a little dizzy.

From now on, when you do lie down, it's best to lie on your side — or at least partly tilted to one side. (When you lie flat on your back, your uterus can compress a major vein, leading to decreased blood return to your heart.) Try placing a pillow behind you or under your hip or upper leg for comfort.

If you haven't already had a second-trimester ultrasound, you'll probably have one soon. This painless procedure helps your practitioner check how your baby's growing, screen for certain birth defects, check the placenta and umbilical cord, determine whether the due date you're working with is accurate, and see how many babies you're carrying. During the exam, you might see your baby moving around or sucking his thumb. Bring your partner along, and be sure to ask for a printout for your baby's first photo album!
