For every pregnant woman who’s ever wondered if her insides were actually being rearranged by the baby growing inside of their belly, we have your answer in the form of the clip below.
The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has developed an interactive tool called ‘Make Room For Baby’ that illustrates week by week exactly what’s happening inside your growing bump. As you can see things get very squished in there!!!
Here are just a handful of the symptoms you might experience as your baby grows:
- The need to pee.. all the time
- Heartburn and indigestion thanks to bub squashing your insides
- Stretch marks
- An aching lower back
Thankfully there are a variety of ways to manage the aches and pains that arise from pregnancy. Regular warm baths and pregnancy specific massage can both help take some of the strain off your poor, aching limbs.
Peppermint tea and over the counter antacids can help with heartburn while support garments like support shorts and belly bands can help take pressure of an aching lower back or pelvis. Pop over to our Healthy Mummy Pregnancy Page for lots of tips, advice and support.
If you’re experiencing severe discomfort and your midwife/Obstetrician has ruled out anything serious, a perinatal physio or osteopath may be able to help.
