Hello [*data('91.salutation')|html*],

Week 26 means you've reached the end of your second trimester! You may be looking forward to it being over now, but well done for getting this far. Not long to go!
 
You and your baby
 
  
 
Foetus at 26 weeks
 
Your baby at 26 weeks

Your baby is growing fast! The head is now the size of a small orange. Their teeth, still in the gums, have an enamel coating ready for the world. Their little hands can now clasp, and may be used to cheerfully pull their umbilical cord back and forth.
 
You at 26 weeks

Why oh why does baby wake up at night?! It's because your daytime movements rock it to sleep without you noticing, so when you're still they wake! Try more gentle rocking to send them off again. The bump may make it hard for you to sleep too. Try lying on your side with a cushion or maternity pillow between your legs.

Nutrition: night troubles


To add to your woes, you might be suffering from heartburn or reflux at night. To help, try elevating your head with a pillow and keeping your evening meal lighter. Also keep an eye on the fat you are eating, because it can slow digestion.

Pregnancy: baby is getting big

Your bump might feel a bit tighter, and it’s starting to get a bit tight for baby in there too. Baby will still have room to perform somersaults and acrobatics at the moment, however as weeks go by the room available will become less. However,  if you feel that the movements are less than your baby’s usual amount of movements, do seek medical advice.
