Week 17: Why Am I Suddenly Snoring?

Welcome to Hello Bump, a podcast about what you’re not expecting when you’re expecting. In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray discover your baby is around the size of a bath bomb or a large serving of guacamole! At week 17, your baby’s developing a layer of fat to help them regulate their temperature when they’re born, and their fingerprints are starting to form. Some pregnant people might start snoring due to the increase in blood volume but your urinating should subside now your baby’s sitting higher and not pushing on your bladder. Plus, Grace asks if a cavity can bring on early labour. THE END BITS: Discover more Mamamia podcasts here. Email us: [email protected] Share your story or feedback.
