400;\"> Their movements are more noticeable and can be felt as kicks, stretches, or rolls inside the uterus.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Abdominal enlargement \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The uterus continues to expand, which may create a sensation of pressure in the lower abdomen.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Swelling in feet and hands \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fluid retention is common and may increase after standing or sitting for long periods.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Fatigue and heaviness \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Weight gain and hormonal changes can cause tiredness during the day.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Lower abdominal pain \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The growth of the uterus stretches the ligaments, causing mild discomfort or occasional twinges.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Heartburn and acid reflux \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As the uterus presses against the stomach, digestive discomfort may occur.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Changes in breathing \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There may be an occasional feeling of shortness of breath as the uterus exerts pressure on the diaphragm.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Increased gum sensitivity \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You may notice bleeding when brushing your teeth due to changes in blood circulation.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Increased vaginal discharge \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A more abundant, clear, or whitish discharge is normal as long as it does not have a foul odor or strange changes.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Skin alterations \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Facial spots, darkening of the linea alba, and stretch marks may become more visible.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4><b><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Baby\u2019s size<\/span><br><br><\/b><\/h4><p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In week 24, the baby is approximately 30 cm long and weighs around 600 grams, similar to an ear of corn or a small melon.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><b><\/b><\/p><p><b>Baby&#8217;s Development and Changes<\/b><\/p><ul><li><b>Increased lung development: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their lungs begin to produce surfactant, a substance essential for breathing outside the uterus. Although they are not yet fully prepared to breathe, this process is key to survival in the event of a premature birth. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><b><\/b><\/li><li><b>Thicker skin: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their skin continues to develop and, although still thin and reddish, begins to accumulate fat underneath, which will help regulate their temperature after birth.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Maturing organs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their digestive system and brain are in full development. Neural connections advance rapidly, allowing the baby to have more defined reflexes. <\/span><\/li><li><b>Increased sensitivity to sound and light:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  Their hearing is sharper, allowing them to react to loud noises and recognize their mother&#8217;s voice. They also begin to perceive light from the outside, although their eyelids remain closed. <\/span><\/li><li><b>More movements and kicks: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their activity is more noticeable, and they may change position several times a day. It is common to feel stronger and more regular kicks. <\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>What Should You Do?<\/b><\/p><ul><li><b>Attend medical check-ups \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  It is likely that during this week you will undergo a glucose tolerance test to rule out gestational diabetes. It is also important to monitor blood pressure and the baby&#8217;s growth. <\/span><\/li><li><b>Monitor nutrition \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain a balanced diet with foods rich in protein, calcium, iron, and fiber to support the baby&#8217;s development and prevent issues such as anemia or constipation.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Stay hydrated \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking enough water helps reduce swelling, improve digestion, and prevent urinary tract infections.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Engage in moderate exercise \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga helps maintain blood circulation and strengthen the body for childbirth.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Manage stress and rest adequately \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sleeping at least 7-8 hours and finding moments of relaxation help reduce fatigue and improve emotional well-being.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Hydrate the skin \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applying moisturizing creams or natural oils can help prevent dryness and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Observe baby&#8217;s movements \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there is not yet a fixed pattern, it is important to notice their activity and consult a doctor if a significant decrease is perceived.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Maintain good posture \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleeping on your side, especially the left side, and avoiding standing or sitting for long periods can help reduce back discomfort and improve circulation.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Prepare for the final stage of pregnancy \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a good time to learn about childbirth, breastfeeding, and newborn care.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
