Do you remember what unnoticeable dot your baby was at the beginning of your pregnancy? And now he/she is so big! He/she is more than 40 cm long and already weighs more than a kilogram.
If you are luckier, you can see how your baby breathes during the ultrasound examination. And because he/she takes amniotic liquid instead of air, you can feel his/her hiccups.

Make a “fatty” menu – Eat more fatty fish, nuts, seeds, fresh red meat, natural whole-fat milk. All these fatty foods will supply you the required amount of energy that in turn you can supply to the baby that is growing very intensively right now.
Add 300 calories per day – These extra calories should comprise fatty acids as these are of crucial importance for the development of the baby’s brain.
Ask for the iron – Ask your gynecologist whether it is necessary to administer additional amount of iron. During the pregnancy it is recommended to administer about 30 mg of iron per day.
