Your baby at 19 weeks
Your baby is still small enough to wriggle, pedal, somersault and kick out inside you. You might even see the outline of a tiny head through your tummy skin! If movements keep you up at night, try gentle caresses or talking to your bump. This will help you bond with your baby, as knowing you are there could help the little one go back to sleep. |

You at 19 weeks
Your pelvic floor is essential for holding everything in place, and now is a good time to start strengthening it. Gently contract the muscles 10-15 times, without engaging muscles in your tum or buttocks. You'll find a strong pelvic floor a big advantage later. |

Nutrition: meat or fish?
The short answer is: it doesn't matter. Both are an excellent source of protein and you can eat either, with just a few things to watch out for. The basic rule is that most things good for you when you're not pregnant are still good during those vital first 1000 days: lean meat, a range of fish, plenty of fruit and vegetables. Oily small fish like mackerel and sardines are especially good, and lower in mercury. |

Pregnancy: questions, questions
The longer you’re pregnant, the more questions will probably crop up in your mind. You can get most answered by talking to your GP or midwife. Later on, ante-natal classes by your midwife and the HSE offer good support and advice. |
