Your Baby - Week Twenty Three

Week 23

Your little one now weighs about one pound, and can be up to 20 centimeters long.  If your baby was born today, he or she would have a chance of survival with possible disabilities.  At twenty three weeks, your baby's skin is wrinkled, but will fill out as he or she grows.

You may be experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions by week twenty three.    Your uterine muscles will contract, ripening in preparation for labor.  Braxton Hicks can be mild, but as your pregnancy continues, may become uncomfortable to painful.  You will feel a tightening of the uterus and then a relaxation.  The contractions are shorter than labor contractions, and are not in regular intervals.  If you are experiencing uncomfortable Braxton Hicks contractions, lay down or sit if possible.  Sometimes a warm bath will help with discomfort.  If your contractions remain regular after resting, contact your OB/GYN.  Braxton Hicks can occur if you are not drinking enough water, so while you are resting, pour yourself a nice cool glass of water.
