Hello
Now that you're 22 weeks along your baby weighs more than the placenta, which until now was heavier than your baby!
You may be experiencing some aches and pains as your baby is growing rapidly and your bump is getting bigger - see what you can do to avoid putting too much strain on your back. |

Your baby at 22 weeks
Inside, your baby's irises are starting to get pigmentation, so their eventual eye colour has been decided. For now, however, they remain closed. For the first few weeks after birth they may also appear blue, even if they're not! |

You at 22 weeks
As your bump grows, your back is put under increasing strain. You can relieve it by trying to stand as straight as possible. Practise by trying to balance a book on your head, and putting a small cushion behind your back when you sit. |

Nutrition: your daily bread
Starchy foods like bread, rice and pasta, especially in their wholegrain form, are an important part of your pregnancy diet. They are slow burning carbs which are great for controlling your sugar cravings, and keep your energy levels steady. |

Pregnancy: too big? Too little?
When pregnant, many women worry whether they're gaining too much or too little weight. That's quite understandable. But there's normally nothing to worry about – weight gain varies dramatically and at different paces. If you're anxious, talk to your GP or midwife. |
