Pregnancy week 23

Symptoms of pregnancy at week 23 of being pregnant - You may begin to have vivid dreams associated with the birth and a sense of anxiety about what the future holds.


Discuss pregnancy week 23 on our forums, right now! Or, post a comment below.

You

You may be experiencing swollen or achy feet. You may begin to have vivid dreams associated with the birth and a sense of anxiety about what the future holds. But don't worry this is normal.

Your baby

Your baby's eyes can now move from side to side. This week the eyelids open, but your baby cannot see much as her visual range is limited until a few weeks after birth. Your baby's head and body are now much more in proportion and her taste buds can distinguish between sweet and bitter. Your baby's heartbeat can now be picked up with a stethoscope. The first teeth are forming in her gums.

Hi im 23 weeks and i can feel my baby move every day she is more active at night tho! I cant wait to see her in real life. This is my first baby and i have quite a small bump but i am reassured this is normal. I have quite bad back ache but other than that im feeling really good!

I'm 23 weeks pregnant today! All exciting stuff. I think my baby had the hic-cups last night for about an hour. S/he never moves for as long as an hour in one work out session ever before and the feeling was like little jumps, just one at a time quite regularly - just like hic-cups! So we just sat and watched my belly quiver for ages. I've listened to baby's heart beat on the stethoscope which was awesome, I had been trying all week and have found it twice.

17 weeks till our EDD which I cant believe is so near. I still have moments where i feel so overwhelmed at the thought We're goingto be parents.

This is my first pregnany. Im 23 weeks tomorrow and i can feel my little girl move everyday which i love (but hate when she decides to totally somersualt). Its good to know that by the end of next week she would have around 40% chance of survival if she were born. Im finding it hard to sleep as my belly is so tender. I have a terrible pain in my back so the midwife has reffered me to physiotherapy. Only 17 weeks until i get to hold my princess!!!

Hey TDLEE, I know the feeling. I'm expecting my second and this one is so much lower than the first one was. I was just to the doctor and he said that my placenta is really low and that it can cause complications later on. they should see the at the ultrasound though.
