Speaking of breathing: a tiny baby's nostrils are still closed, begin to open, and his vocal cords are preparing for the first cry.
The mother's body for 25 weeks of pregnancy
Let's face it: some pregnancy related ailments deliver considerable discomfort, especially hemorrhoids. More than half of all pregnant women experience swelling and itching of the veins of the rectum, arising as a result of increased pressure on the bowel cancer.

Surprisingly, the study found an association between good teeth and oral hygiene, and child bearing. Sounds suspicious, does not it? Nevertheless, it is. Suffice it to brush your teeth at least twice a day and flossing regularly use to reduce the risk of gingivitis - common disease in which the gums become inflamed, red and even bleed.

To ease the pain.

Perform Kegel exercises and pelvic tilts to strengthen the muscles. If pain is severe, ask for referral to a physical therapist.
- Restless Legs Syndrome: along with tingling hands, pregnant women often feel tingling and unpleasant sensations in the legs that occur at rest (often in the evening and at night), and force them to commit to facilitate movement. Take a survey on iron deficiency anemia, as some experts associated with restless leg syndrome these diseases.

- Change in condition of skin, hair and nails: as normal hair loss occurs due to changes in hormone levels, you may notice that the hair has become thicker and shiny. Unfortunately, these positive changes are short-lived - after giving birth, you lose all the hair that had to fall during pregnancy.
The woman at the 25th week of pregnancy
The woman is still quite a good feeling, but the belly grows, the uterus is already significantly above the vagina, which contributes to the rise of some of the diaphragm. Therefore, it may appear a little shortness of breath, which increases during exercise. The kid at the time, too intensively, so it may not have enough oxygen. At this time, we attach great importance to outdoor exercise, which should generally take no more than two hours a day in any weather. But three o'clock to be divided into several trips, among which a woman must rest in a lying or sitting position with raised legs. Such a situation is the prevention of varicose veins.
Since at this time increases the amount of the circulated blood, it is possible stagnation in the venous system, which manifests itself in the form of hemorrhoids, pain and jerking in the legs - a sign of varicose veins. Prevention of varicose veins is the right motive mode wearing elastic stockings and prenatal bandage (big belly already beginning to squeeze the veins, so it should be kept). The size of the bandage is better to discuss with the obstetrician, but it can be done and the most: the size of the shroud will be equal to the circumference of the abdomen at the navel with the addition to this figure 5 cm (to further increase the size of the stomach).
At this period in a woman's body is usually running out of iron, made before pregnancy. Iron is essential in the construction of many body tissues. But it is of particular importance for the formation of red blood cells - red blood cells. The composition of red blood cells include hemoglobin - the protein with a compound of iron, whose main function - to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carbon dioxide - from the tissues to the lungs. If the hemoglobin is insufficient, the fabric enters little oxygen, and they begin to suffer - the metabolism
Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting
. Particularly sensitive to lack of oxygen the nerve cells of the brain. If not enough oxygen constantly, it is reflected in the state, both women and her child. The chronic shortage of iron in the body, which is accompanied by a decrease in hemoglobin, called iron deficiency anemia.
Iron deficiency anemia is shown increasing weakness, lethargy, headaches, dry skin, the appearance of cracks on it (for example, at the corners of the mouth). Such a condition requires treatment (otherwise will suffer the fruit), pregnant women are prescribed medications containing iron and ascorbic acid (it improves absorption of iron in the gastrointestinal tract).
Most women recommended diet with high content of foods that are sources of intake of iron. These are products of animal origin: egg yolks, meat, liver, fish roe, seafood. The products of animal origin iron is in a form that allows it to seamlessly absorbed into the human body, while in plant foods contain iron, almost owl is not absorbed in the intestine. The products must come and sufficient amount of ascorbic acid, so women are advised to eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink from - the infusion of rose hips and fresh juices.
Kids in the 25th week of pregnancy
By the 26th week, it weighs about 750 grams, and its length is 32 cm. His skin is still red and wrinkled (little subcutaneous fat), but rapidly developing muscular system. Sleeping baby little and often, therefore, periods of activity followed by periods of his mind.
Intensive development of the nervous system leads to the fact that the child begins to feel pain and respond to it. Often the pain had come due to a lack of oxygen (headaches) and it starts to signal this or exhibiting violent activity, or, on the contrary, pausing.
The light continues to slowly produced surfactant (a substance law decay prevents the alveoli of the lungs during breathing), but it is still very small, and if the child is born in this period of time, it may not be easy to kill.
But some kids still survive, they have a chance if the maternity hospital incubators have intended for the care of these children, and equipment for critical care.
The 25th week of pregnancy concludes the cycle of development of the fetus when it is officially considered viable. Starting next week, the chances of survival for him to rise.
