Home/ Blog/ Healthy Pregnancy, Healthy Baby ? Month 7

You begin the third trimester as you enter the seventh month. These last three months are crucial for both mother and child, and this period is sensitive for the body. So you should not exert yourself physically and have good mental health.

Baby’s Growth

The foetus develops all-round, growing limbs. There’s also brain formation, and fat begins accumulating under the skin. The baby can suck its thumb and has rigorous eye movements. The baby also experiences hiccups, and it weighs 3 to 4 pounds. The mother also experiences low energy.

Good Diet

The same diet followed in the sixth month should be followed. Additionally, take ghee medicated with sweet herbs like shatavari early morning on an empty stomach. Decrease fats and salts in your diet and include food items rich in proteins, like wheat, rice kanji, sprouts, lentils, beans, dry peas, and soybean.

Massage Is Beneficial
