What you are experiencing - 20th week

Well done! You already made it halfway to this happy event when you will hold your little baby in your arms! You are probably full of energy. Your pregnancy is showing more and more. The specialist keeping track of your pregnancy probably started measuring your fundal height. Using a tape measure, he evaluates the distance between the top edge of the pubic symphysis and the fundus that should currently be between 18 and 22 centimetres.

You could find it hard to take a deep breath, especially if you are short or if you are overweight. Some people can suffer from asthma at this stage (ex. cough, breathing noises). If this is the case, you should consult your doctor. Safe medication is available to ease your symptoms.
