17 Weeks Pregnant...

Your sweet one is now about the size of a sweet potato but she's no softy! Your baby's bones are starting to ossify and she's getting a good workout - her sweat glands are forming, too. By now, your baby can suck her thumb, move her arms and legs completely, and is coated in a protective layer of fine hair called lanugo, which is shed before delivery. As your uterus stretches to make room for that ballooning baby, you may feel some cramping and while it may be uncomfortable, it's perfectly normal.
