Week 21

Drawing of your baby in week 21

About the size ofan aubergine

A round belly! Your baby is now 27 cm and 380 grams

Just over halfway through your pregnancy, and your belly should be starting to take shape nicely. Your womb is growing a lot, has stretched quite far upwards and reaches your belly button. Noticeable to the outside world! Your baby now gains about sixty grams a week. There is still plenty of room to move, which means you will feel your baby high in your belly one moment, then low down or at the side.
