"Eco Eve Week 16 Pregnancy Guide: Baby Can Hear You Now - By Wholesome Linen"
Welcome to Week 16! Your baby, now about the size of an avocado, is experiencing exciting milestones this week. Eco Eve is here to guide you through these changes and help you support your body during this pivotal stage.
Baby’s Development: Your baby’s ears are now developed enough to hear sounds, including your voice and heartbeat. This is a great time to talk, read, or sing to your little one to create an early bond. Their eyes are slowly moving under closed lids and may detect light. Neck and back muscles are strengthening, improving movement and head control.
Managing Back Pain: As your posture shifts with a growing belly, you may experience back pain. Good posture, regular exercise, and prenatal yoga can help. Sleeping on your side with a pillow between your legs provides added relief. If discomfort persists, consider a prenatal massage or chiropractic care.
Cardiovascular Health: With increased blood volume, your heart is working harder, which is normal. Gentle exercise like walking or swimming helps maintain cardiovascular fitness, and staying hydrated with water and electrolytes is key. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing, and elevate your feet to reduce swelling.
Nutritional Guidance: Iron-rich foods are essential now to support increased blood volume and oxygen transport. Add spinach, red meat, and lentils to your meals, and pair them with vitamin C-rich foods like oranges for better absorption. Maintain a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to support both you and your baby.
Planning Your Natural Nursery: As your baby’s arrival gets closer, plan their nursery with organic, non-toxic materials. Wholesome Linen offers products to create a safe, serene environment. Use our Natural Nursery Baby Registry Checklist to organize essentials, and download our Pregnancy Planner Digital Download for tracking every stage of your pregnancy.
Support and Community: Pregnancy is best shared with others who are experiencing similar milestones. Join Eco Eve’s community to share advice, experiences, and support, helping each other navigate the joys and challenges of this journey.
