General information, not medical advice. Every pregnancy is different — bring questions to your OB or midwife.

Your baby at 25 weeks

The fetus is steadily gaining fat, so the skin looks less wrinkled, and hair is developing color and texture. It responds to your voice and touch and is developing a more regular sleep-wake rhythm.

How you might feel

Constipation and hemorrhoids can become bothersome.

This week's tip: Boost fiber, drink plenty of water, and stay gently active to help digestion.
