Eco Eve Week 17 Pregnancy Guide: Baby’s Skeleton Begins to Harden - By Wholesome Linen
Welcome to Week 17! This week, your baby’s skeleton is transitioning from soft cartilage to bone through ossification. Let Eco Eve guide you through these remarkable changes and help you support your body during this stage.
Baby’s Development: At Week 17, ossification strengthens your baby’s skeleton, a critical step in their growth. Sweat glands are forming, and the umbilical cord is becoming thicker and stronger to provide essential nutrients. Your baby is increasingly active, and you may soon feel flutters of movement.
Managing Weight Gain: Weight gain during pregnancy is normal and necessary, but managing it healthily is important. Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Regular exercise, such as walking or swimming, supports overall well-being. Limit processed foods and sugary snacks to prevent unnecessary weight gain.
Dealing with Leg Cramps: Leg cramps are common due to dehydration, low magnesium or potassium, or circulation changes. Stay hydrated and incorporate foods like bananas, leafy greens, and nuts. Stretching before bed and maintaining regular physical activity can help reduce discomfort.
Nutritional Guidance: As your baby’s bones harden, calcium becomes vital. Include dairy products, fortified plant milks, leafy greens, and almonds in your diet. Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption—try daily sun exposure or supplements if needed. A nutrient-dense diet supports both your health and your baby’s development.
Planning Your Natural Nursery: As your baby’s arrival approaches, plan their nursery with organic, non-toxic materials. Wholesome Linen offers safe, sustainable bedding, clothing, and furniture. Use our Natural Nursery Baby Registry Checklist to organize essentials and our Pregnancy Planner Digital Download to track every stage of your pregnancy.
Support and Community: Pregnancy is best shared with others on the same journey. Eco Eve encourages you to join a community of expectant mothers to exchange advice, experiences, and support.
