Watch our video guide to Week 21 of your pregnancy journey:
What's Happening in Week 21?
Your baby is now about the size of a carrot! Movements are becoming stronger and more coordinated - you may even see your belly move from the outside when baby kicks. The digestive system is practicing for life outside the womb.
Bone marrow is now producing blood cells (previously this was done by the liver and spleen). Your baby can taste the amniotic fluid, which changes flavor based on what you eat.
Tips for Week 21
- Pay attention to your baby's movement patterns
- Eat a varied diet - your baby experiences different flavors
- Consider starting a kick count routine
- Discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider
