Pregnancy week 21

Baby is now about 7.2 inches long and weighs about 10.5 ozs (or 300 grams).

By pregnancy week 21 your uterus continues its upward path and is now about half an inch above your bellybutton - you have gained about 10 to 14 lbs so far and the rapid growth rate of your baby in recent weeks has slowed down - your baby looks very human by now and you can hear baby's heartbeat very clearly now.

In pregnancy week 21 you may have some swelling of the lower legs and feet - you should put your feet up if possible for a while during the day - you are definitely wearing maternity clothes by now - see previous pregnancy weeks of our pregnancy week by week guide to see what else is happening in your body.
