Your baby at 25 weeks
You're probably feeling your baby quite a bit more now – it can feel like they're doing aerobics classes in there! It's nice to touch the bump to let them know you are near, and you might even be rewarded with a little hand touching back. |

You at 25 weeks
Ouch. Leg cramps still? Remember it's a very common side effect of pregnancy and nothing to worry about. If they are happening at night, try a warm bath before bed and prop your feet up a few cm in bed. Pilates can strengthen your back and pelvic floor, which need to be strong during the birth. |

Pregnancy: ballooning ankles
Three solutions to this common problem. First, when you sit, put your feet up on a stool. Second, go for a 10 minute stroll to stimulate circulation. Third, avoid tight shoes. If you have swelling in your face or hands, however, do check with your doctor. |

Nutrition: spice is nice
Some women worry about eating spicy or richly flavoured foods. But there's no need. Baby only detects a few aroma molecules and at this early stage of their 1000 day development so herbs and spices won't matter. If you crave them, tuck in. |
